Default Damaged spoiler
I just received an authentic Type R spoiler from eBay and noticed it was damaged at the same spot on both sides. I am pretty sure it happened during shipping. Do you think that the body shop I am taking it to will be able to fix the spots?

Here are pics of the damaged spots:

What is it made out of? ABS plastic or fiberglass?

If it is authentic I would think it would be either metal or ABS.
