Default Front spoiler is damaged. Any ideas?

Hi everyone,
So my front spoiler (I think that's what it is) is completely ruined and it looks like it comes in two pieces (I will post pic)...I have a 2006 Lexus is 250. I called the the auto body store and they said that it's going to cost like $600 to get it fixed which is out of my budget. Is there any other alternatives you guys would recommend? Maybe an aftermarket front spoiler? Please let me know your thoughts!! Sorry if I sound dumb, I don't know anything about cars.
Thanks!

Here is the picture of the front of my car and you can see in the bottom left where it is messed up. Looks worse in person.

Try ikon motorsports or ebay. You can get a lip painted in 1G1 and you can just slap it on. Fitment may not be perfect though. Or you can get a carbonfiber lip which wouldnt need any paint but may look out of place if your car is pretty stock. Lastly, you can search craigslist for some one parting out a isx

search "2006 lexus is250 oem front lip" in google. Get the part, add 100 or so for paint and installation.
That should be the price.
Also can google "2006 lecus is250 aftermarket fromt lip" and see if you like a different style. I got. $90 rep from ebay and the fitmenf isn't bad at all, just needs smart screw work for where it is hanging a litttle loose.

That part is super easy to replace. Just buy one, get it painted and do it yourself. There's like 10 bolts or so holding it on and they are all directly accessible.
