Messed up my bumper/fender
I accidentally hit a parking block a few weeks ago, which ripped the plastic sheath on the bottom of my car. I snapped it off as it was scraping the ground when I would drive, but now a few weeks later you can see the damage it has caused to my fender/bumper.
I attached some photos.
Anyone have any insight on how much a repair would cost to fix this?
I hope I will NOT need a new bumper or fender. Replacing them would be ridiculously expensive.

you have to replace the wheel well cover and you might get by with reinstallind the bumper and tighting it up, lloke likes one screw hole is torn but you can reinstall it, thats what i would do unless you want a new bumper!

Thanks for the response. Any estimate on the repairs? Just don't want to get ripped off. I figured they could just rescrew it back on without having to replace the entire fender.

150 - 200 for the well, another couple hundred to put that on and McGuyver the front bumper screw area that is now ripped. $450-500 total, depending on your location, of course (which you should fill out in your profile).
Just get a couple of estimates - that's better than us giving you ballparks. There could be some unseen damage that we have no idea about.

I believe you can get that bottom plastic part of the well for about $60 (aftermarket).
For the bumper I would try to 'plastic-weld' that ripped hole and be done (google "plastic bumper welding")
