Those get broken often(mine is).
Sometimes they will show up at Hawks or at ThirdGenRanch.
Ebay is another possibility.
You could try repairing it with fiberglass, but I don't know how well it will work as the original piece is not.
I have a couple of broken ones that I am going to combine into one good one once I figure out what will be the best adhesive to use.

Also check junk yards. You may be able to find a broken one you can use to piece yours back together if all else fails.

I will say though, the gal at the pay window looked at me really strange for buying a broken part.

Re: do you think i will be able to repair my ground effects

Mine looked just like that when I bought the car. Ended up buying a used one that was slightly better (still cracked but not missing any chunks) and fixing that one with a fiberglass repair kit.

Still, if you're looking for best results, replace it a good used one that hasn't been repaired. The area could be patched, but IMO it's too big of a section to patch and the repair will be obvious in a few years after all the paint shrinks.
