Cracked front spoiler/dam-repair or replace?
Hit a f***ing giant parking block and cracked the front spoiler/dam. Contemplating repairing or replacing with something else. Was thinking about this from rex or ?? I have the aero kit if that matters. its $500+ to repair. I wonder if I could install it myself. Thoughts, comments welcome.

definitely should not be 500 to repair, maybe 500 to replace... but thats something any good body shop could bondo and repaint, shouldnt be more then $250 to repair that.

F Bondo and repaint. That's a pretty ghetto solution. It's cracked - what are they going to do with Bondo? "Glue" it back together? Even if they use actual epoxy made for that (my friend works in a body shop, I've seen it done) and then try to fix it, it's pretty thin plastic and it's just going to end up flexing, cracking, and looking like crap again.
I'd just replace it, or get a CF one.
