Default Broken lip :(

So I finally got my Mugen lip painted and installed 2 weeks ago. I have been babying my car so that I wont destroy the lip. It's been 2 weeks and not a single scratch.

I leave my car on my parents driveway to switch cars since it was snowing yesterday. My dad decides to move my car out of the driveway and proceeds to destroy my BRAND SPANKING NEW MUGEN LIP. HOLY HELL AM I ANGRY!!

They lip is pretty much split into two horizontal layers.... soo ****ing angry!! But because it is my dad, I can't really be screaming at him haha. He didn't mean to, but it happened. I am hoping I can just do a DIY repair job. Thinking about filling the gap with some filler and then sand, prime, and paint that one area. To be honest, it isn't THAT noticeable unless you go looking for it, but I know it is there and it is bugging me like no tomorrow.

What kills me is that it is only 2 weeks old, and I dont even have any real good pics of my car with the new lip yet and this happens...



Here is a before shot:

That hood looks awesome in red! Sadness about your lip, but be happy about owning a damned good looking car!

Thanks for all the kind comments!!

I am hoping to just do a DIY repair on the lip. What is a good filler that is easy to work with in this application?
