Cost feasibility of repairing damaged spoiler?

I have the opportunity to buy an OEM SS spoiler, problem is... its got a little hit on the passenger corner.

Now, im well aware that i shouldnt buy it for even half the price of one that isnt damaged... what im wondering is if it is possible to fix, and what i would be looking at to repair it. Im a perfectionist, so i would want it to look right.

Im also very much a DIY kinda guy, so if this is something i could do myself with some time and the right tools, im interested in going that route too.

any help?

i have this spoiler now so i am going to repair it somehow...

I was thinking about putting a piece of foam in the corner to use as a guide to reform the corner... but i have no experience with fiberglass. I havent found any good writeups yet. most of the stuff i have found is just repairs for cracks, or damage that no actual part of the original item is missing.

I can't help w/ the process BUT

if you use fiberglass WEAR GLOVES... That stuff is a PITA to get rid of. (I've used it before on flat panels on old beaters)
