you could always repair it. of course it will never be as strong again but getting it to hold together and be pretty solid with some fiberglass filler/ bondo and a quick spray could bring it back to life. just gotta have patience with sanding. good luck man!

The most expensive part I ever bought from a junk yard was my lip spoiler, 20$, it was in damn good condition.

That's interesting because usually junkyards have cars that have front end damage... and that lip is usually the first thing done.
