Might have to get a new one..

Duct tape it? They don't call it 100mph tape for nothing.

lol mint. sometimes they dont even look too bad from afar... they just flap like hell on the highway.

Whats the lip made of? try some plastic epoxy maybe, I've got no idea on the chances of it holding up though.

Fiberglass (kitty-hair) and then bondo. Sand it down good. That should be plenty strong.
