Default Hard shell Rodent against the S

I was coming home last night (2:00am) from Petes Place (big ass beer night) on 1960 and Kuykendahl so I wasn't in 100% control of what I was doing if you know what I mean.

An armadillo jumps out in front of me and bamm! I hit it with my front bumper and immediately stopped and pulled over to look at my car. The rodent put a small crack and a scratch on my bumper. Dammnnn!! Its a good thing that the Amuse is on the way. It should cover it up.

I am still mad though...

How difficult/expensive is it to get a crack in the strake or under-body spoiler fixed? Can it be repaired or is it a replace only?

I don't have any now (knocks on wood) but I'm sure it will happen eventually!

It's plastic...probably would be cheaper to buy new ones (~$300).

At first read, I thought there was an "C" in one of those words.

Unfortunately, it did take me 2 days to notice this thread. I'll try and keep up from now on.
