Visit a body shop and ask if they can repair it.

Looks like you are so low, this won't be the last time...
Aslong as it gets fixed to look normal I am fine. Also I was rollin on 14's at the time when it happened, winter had ended but snow turned to ice since it was inside a pot hole - thought it was snow in the middle of the road plowed it and the rest is history I still have the plastic piece thats missing that actually broke off. Now it is on 15 inch wheels, and in this photo my bumper is actually clearing a sidewalk so it has a good 6 inches will be dropping maybe an inch to make it an equal five (atm its stock height)

at the very end, I used bondo just to smoothe it out. the area I covered was tons bigger than yours. I think you can do it in a day. just make sure to get the resin jelly (it is like grout and doesn't really drip) order it online if you can't find it locally. you won't need much at all. make sure to also have some paint. duplicolor seems to work well (also available online).

you can do this. save some money (you'll need it for the NOX setup ;))
Nice to see you are following and supporting my NOS idea! Well I know we have dupli color here, but I am scared shitless to do anything to my car myself and by the sounds of it so far if it costs 150ish dollars to fix, I won't be spending much less getting all the supplies for this self repair so I may aswell have a shop do it.
