Default Body Work question

I think I got an excellent deal

I was given the rear section of the Liberal body kit (rear underspoiler). Now the part is cracked, but is fixable, I think. It should just be a matter of laying a fiberglass patch and sanding. It wont be show quality but you shouldnt be able to tell unless your seriously looking for it. Now the part is already painted Yellow. How much would you guys think it would cost to lay the fiberglass patch, and repaint the part Midnight blue? Also can anybody recommend a place that can do the work stated above within say a 30 minute trip of annapolis MD

Actually, all you'd have to do is put a fiberglass patch on the backside of the peice. Get some flexible bondo for the outside (it sands down smoother). Start with about 200 grit sand paper and work your way to about 1600. It'll look show quality once you get it painted. That will save you a couple buck if you do it yourself.

Jeff's Body Shop (corner of Admiral Dr. and Moreland Parkway in Annapolis, near West St.) does excellent work. They repaired a fender bender and painted my sideskirts a while back. Maybe a tad expensive, but its worth it for good work IMO.
