Default Broken Carson tuned front lip, looking for options

Hey all,

I've been rocking the Carson Tuned kit on my GS for years. Normal wear and tear as you'd expect for a daily driven vehicle which was fine until another car kicked up a chunk of wood on the freeway and busted my front lip this past fall. Held it together with duct tape until I would have time to get to it which is now.

I've taken the lip to a shop who said they wouldn't attempt to fix.

I'm not aware of which lips are still available for the 06-07 GS's beyond the Ebay ones (which I'm fine with if the fitment/quality is good)

Looking for some opinions on what my options are.

Thanks
Kevin

Here is the lip currently:

It's most definitely fixable, you need a shop that repairs that type of lip (polyurethane I believe) and it should be fine.

Thanks guys, good to know that there are shops that can fix this. I'll spend some time calling around. Seattle shouldn't be that difficult to find a repair shop.
