Repair 99 Spec lip?

I received a 99 spec lip with my 99 spec bumper, both used. The lip is cracked though, and I was wondering if anybody found an epoxy or glue that worked well to repair it. I'm not much worried about texture, as I will probably use the 3M DI-Noc carbon fiber wrap on it to make it look better and get rid of all the scuffs and scratches.

Would something like JB Weld work on this type of plastic?

In my searches, everybody just says to replace it, but since I want to wrap it anyway, I figure its worth asking if anybody knows what works first.

Thanks!

Plastic weld would work, and if its not to big of a crack , you could do some body work on it.

Throw a layer of fiberglass over it, then a layer of bondo, sand down and paint. To easy.

I changed my Center console on my last FD from

THIS



To THIS with Fiberglass




Heres a pic before I painted it.
