broke my front lip!!

Ok, it's like 20degrees outside, and I just hit a small ice patch and my lip cracked in half.
can I somehow attach them back together? one small piece about the size of lighter is missing. wtf!!!!!
can I just epoxy it together reinforced by another piece of plastic behind it?

I think it was a pile of snow that's been shoveled to the side, which froze. no curb. Was like a clump of ice on the ground.

Avalon racing has some pretty good prices. Of course call up Stillen and ask em what the best solution is. If they say buy another one then try haggling with them ask em what the lowest price they can sell it for is.

I am never going to touch anything with my lip. Spent too much money on it to mess it up. That sucks man. Sorry.

Who busted your lip??

Stillen lip is made of polyurethane... a flex material, they don't crack like fiberglass would. Was that what you had?
