    Excellent job. What was your method to repair it. Epoxy?

    Fiberglass. i thought about epoxy but since the spoiler is fiberglass i figured it would be best to repair it with fiberglass. Thanks :)

    Was that in two pieces when you started or was it just a really big crack? I'd be worried about lining the two pieces up right, probably start with it bolted to the car to line them up.
