Prodrive Lip . . . Help?

So I just received my Prodrive Lip, The box was semi-damaged. The lip itself is all good except a broken piece at the end (see pics). Anyone have experience with either mounting this lip , and/or know if this can easily be fixed? Otherwise I will return it and have UPS pay for it, and also see what the shop I ordered it from can do, and send me another. Was just trying to not have to send it back, if it was a not a big deal. I'm sure it would mount fine, but will it be an eye sore too?

Thoughts?

thanks all!

(I will not mention the name of the shop I bought it from)

yeah that or washers... doesn't matter whats the things made of. just something to keep the plastic from slipping away from the mounting hardware

but for the most part, it looks like that gap could be pinched in if you tighten to bolt enough

Not too bad, no visible damage after installed. But its up to you.

What you can do is epoxy one thin washer on each side of the damaged hole, but just make sure the washer hole is big enough for the bolt to fit in, then your good to go. Post pics after you install it

yeah that isn't a big deal just a couple of washers and u can also use that clip that goes over the bumper and clip it on the lip and bumper so u can make sure it doesn't come off. (sorry can't be any more descriptive) but either way u should be all good.

oh and damn gus ur suby is ballin' now. all you need to complete the look is the oem rear lip and ur good to go.
