Is there a good fix for this, or will it just crack again?

But then the question is how to keep the replacement from cracking? Mine is cracked. I changed the sensor so that the spoiler doesn't cycle up and down so much. Does anyone know what kind of plastic Porsche used on the spoiler? If it's ABS there might be a fix.

Easy fix for any competent body shop and they can reinforce it at the same time.
But there is a company making them in carbon fibre, but they'll only sell them with the carbon fibre decklid to match.
Can't find their details at the minute, I think they were based in Ireland...

I'd be interested in hearing about this carbon fiber alternative. I was able to source a replacement spoiler from Autobahn dismantlers to replace my cracked one, and have it at the bottom of a very long to do list to try to figure out how to make a replacement - fiberglass or carbon fiber most likely. Given the length of the to do list I'd say that's years away though.....I'd be happy if someone else has solved this for me.

The company is Classiccarreras on instagram, check out their posts for pics of the carbon fibre spoiler surround.
Their website is Classic Carreras
But as I previously mentioned, when I inquired about the spoiler surround, they advised that they only sell it with their full decklid kit, not separately.
Good luck.
