Got little close to snow pile in parkin lot and cracked front lower spoiler years ago,patched it witt some small alumin angle and pop rivets and "Road"!! Nice and warm out,good glassin weather! took air cut off to it
It cracked like this both sides same way! glassed some mat on it
This is otter side glassed & prime
Now I gotta glass were this meets front flares,when I molded them together years ago it wasent a smooth line were they joined! 30yrs ago it was ok! Next week maybe
That's why I can't use a front spoiler or flares, Our driveway in winter rarely get plowed, so driving through a couple feet of snow is common and would prolly damage or rip them off. Nice job though.
OUCH, I used to have a daily driver ...What am I saying they all were, even the Phoenix was for a short time about twenty years ago. Molded flairs and spoilers do not mix well with snow and a daily driver. espcially in your climate. Good luck with your fix, Just a hint from the guru of glass...J&J, use glass Mat instead of woven cloth it's stronger, saturate completely, work out all air bubbles, and don't get a drop of sweat in it, that spot will never cure.
Cheers!

I try to use mostly mat,its very easy to work with and shape,the cloth is ok on somethings....I used mat & the heavy woven cloth on back sides for reinforcement,I used about 6 layers of mat and resin to build up 1/4" to edge of gullwing,I think it is alot stronger using mat
