Default Damaged WS6 spoiler/trunk

Hey guys, Previous owner of my bird said he backed into a mailbox. I took it to a well respected body shop and said it would cost 700 to fix it. Just wondering if i have another option. I have done some body work(repainted a hood and front bumper), but maybe i could do the prep and they spray it. I couldnt get a good pic of the spoiler but there is two notches that dig down underneath the top portion of the spoiler with some material missing from the top so that needs to be filled too.
The other pic is pretty self explanatory.
I was looking on ebay, a whole trunk with glass is like 350, i found a black one but who knows how well it would match the rest.
Just looking for some advice on what to do, maybe i should just let the body shop deal with it. Its a nice car so i dont want to half-*** it.
Thanks for reading!

If you replace the whole hatch with a black one if the paint is factory it should be really close if not dead on
