Default broken lip

so some idiot decided to back into my cf c west lip today
long story short the thing broke in half and is in 2 pieces now and a big piece off the bottom broke

whats my options

- resin the cracks and fiberglass the thing back together and paint it all ss?

-or can i fiberglass from the inside and fill the cracks in with resin and then sand it all down and reclear it to keep the carbon fiber look

and if i can do the 2nd option i will most likely paint the sides and leave the middle section cf but idk if it can b done

+1! Did you not get insurance money out of this? Or is your deductible more than the part?

I would assume his deductible is minimally $500. Do you have a license plate
or any info on the car/driver? If so, post up I will try to help. Fakin people.
