Default Dually Rear Fender Cracked

I was backing my trailer up yesterday to go racing and jacknived my dually with it, it cracked the rear fender flare, it's made of plastic, it's not horribly cracked, but it's not small.

I was wondering if this plastic piece of was repairable, or if it's easier/cheaper to replace the fender.

A decent body shop can usually fix cracks in plastic.

Otherwise you could check around at some of the local yards and see if you can find a flare...maybe even the same color

If it is a small enough crack they could use glass to repair. However, if it was my truck I would claim it on my insurance, pay the deductible (in my case $500) and get a new piece.

It's busted/cracked, it's probably 20 inches long total, I looked on ebay for some, seen a couple. I'll definetely be checking the junkyards today, it's white so should be a good chance of finding one in that color already.
