yes, my car is dirty. Ill wash is when it stops raining... in Seattle.

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
to repair it: you need to drill small holes parallel to the crack ever inch or so. Then sand the outside and inside of the splitter with two different grit sand paper. Then use fiber glass and resin on the back side to "glue" it together. After it has harden and dried you can sand the outside smooth and repaint it.
I'll fix it for you if you want, PM me. its deff not scrap, just some fiberglass work and sand paper. Ive done that to my frunt lip 3 times now, its sittin in my garage in 2 1/2 peaces currently smile.gif

That is pretty much all you have to do. Just make sure you drill even the smallest cracks too.
