Ralliart Aero repair, autobody techs please help

Hello.

After many autocrosse and dead cones, the clips on the side skirt and front lip are broken. it's not the white clip itself, but the part on the skirt/lip where the white clip slides in to. I'm looking at repairing it but i dont know what to use, There's epoxy, and that JB weld stuff...

any suggestions on what i should use to repair it?
is JB weld any good for this application?
and anyone know the prices on the OEM side skirts and front lip? or the prices and manufacturers who make aero parts at cheaper than oem (including paint if not already painted)?

Thanks in advance =)

I tried epoxy, plastic weld, even abs glue and nothing worked on the plastic on my evo, except for JB Weld. I don't imagine the ralliart's plastic is any more glue friendly than an evo

+1 for JB Weld. The stealership tried to fix it first but it came off again after a week. JB Weld did the job and it's been holding up for about a year now with no signs of coming off.
