If it's the Black plastic, just cut a piece of thin alloy tin to cover the cracked area, clamp it underneath, then drill/install 2 to 3 pop-rivets on each side running along the crack and that should stop further cracking and give it rigidity and all you'll see from the top is the Rivets which you can dab with black paint if you like.

Are Fan shrounds cracking on the hemi a every day item?, I'm not worried abought how to fix it, thiers not enough plastic gone yet to pop rivet in a replacment panel.

Tiers a lip that fits over the rad, that section has cracked away, some time down the road, when hemis are a dime a dozen in the bone yard, I will replace it.
