If your body shop can't fix it then that's not a shop that would work on my car. You could actually fix it yourself.
Sandpaper
Resin
Fiberglass matting
Bondo
Matte roller
Short version tutorial - Sand the part, position the 2 parts together, have the in a postion where they don't move (clamp or jig or make a metal brace for the back side) mix resin, add light coat to back side apply matte first light coat is just to keep the mate in place apply second light coat then more matte (amount of layers up to you)
watch out for air bubbles. Go to the front side and do the same process. Let part dry overnight. Next day scuff area apply Bondo let Bondo dry (sand) smooth out work area then you ready for primer and paint.
Those are the basics to what you have to do, not exactly what you have to do but the basics
If it was me I would fiberglass in a thin metal brace on the back side of the lip to keep from flexin

Now if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself then here's what I advise.
Find a shop that's does car stereo especially on that does high end installs dealing with customs fiberglass enclosures and that will be the shop that will be able to fix your lip
Just because the shop you deal with is a big shop doesn't mean that specialize in custom work. I got a guy here in Atlanta that been in many magazines and his shop is behind his house and he does way better work than most big shops. So being a big shop doesn't always mean anything

I got a Sensei front bum per years ago that was missing an entire section and I was able to fiberglass in a piece so you couldn't even notice.
They probably didn't feel it was worth "their" time.
Btw, I am by no means a fiberglass professional, just some guy that tinkers with stuff.'94 Red PGT Gone, but Project PGT has begun
'04 Black SRT-4 Um, no it's not stock. But "It's just a Neon, right?" 379whp @ 20lbs *Sold*
