I cracked my rear spoiler (1LE) - an overhanging tree branch while backing into a parking spot.

I'm sure there is no way to fix this but i'll post pictures in a few.

Any thoughts? Chuck it and get a new one?

I'm sure it's fixable with fiberglass or something but unless you fix it/paint it yourself it may be cheaper to just get a new one.

I'd say chuck it. The way the 3rd brake light is poking out on the left means it's probably tweaked just a bit and not just cracked.

Money aside, if you fix the top it could probably come out looking pretty good but it's probably delaminated in a larger area than what's visible.
