Usually it is ABS plastic, I cannot recall any manufacturer using FRP for OEM spoilers.

Any good auto fiberglass with the proper resin will do the trick. When Ptatohed had his body work done, I cut off the middle legs of his spoiler and his brother (a bodyshop technician) fiberglassed the holes closed. Came out just fine.

If you're looking for a place to start, try PM'ng Ptatohed. I believe he kept the packages/containers for reference.
