you could remove it yourself. i belive there are screws under the spoiler on the trunk lid.
you just need to fill the remaining holes afterwards, though

or go to a junkyard a look for a new trunk that matches our car?

it doesn't look like its screwed.

it looks like it was glued or caulked on or something.

If you can see any bolts from the bottom, the previous owner may have molded or bondo'd the wing to the trunk. If that's the case, it's going to take paint work to repair it, the idea mentioned above about finding a trunk lid from a junkyard is a great idea, just have to find your color.
