That looks like some hardcore damage (in the first and second picture)... if you repar it, there might still be a very small crack that could only be hidden by a repaint. And then, the spoiler will be weaker, and more prone to damage. I think your best bet is to buy a new one, carnewal has some reasonable prices.

The entire chin spoiler will be repainted anyway if fixed to help with some of my scrapes from my low car

Guess I should mention...the crack looks very spread apart...however it can easly be pushed back together...its not like the fiberglass is missing, its just seperated...

Do NOT do that, a carbon fiber one would be much more prone to cracking and getting destroyed than the stock piece. IMHO I'd get the stock non-aerokit piece that sits flush instead of the "chin-out" aerokit piece.
