Broken Fender-Repair or replace

Is it worth repairing the stock composite/fiberglass fenders? I have a 6 inch ragged crack in the top of my fender. It had been fixed one, but it was done really sh***y-like...so now the crack is back. Am I better off replacing it? I've found knockoffs for like $60 on e-bay.

Thoughts?

I would say replace it, but I would not go with a knock off. GM parts fit/look better in most cases. Wholesale price on a new fender is ~$150.

I have two aftermarket fenders on my race car. One looks fine the other one doesn't fit worth a damn.

What Side? I need a Passenger Side if you have one.
Just curious, what color?
How much to ship to 06830 (Connecticut)?
