I would say just find a donor car, cut and weld. Definitely repairable. - Edit: I have no idea how much it would cost to fix, try doing it yourself.

*ebrake on streets...shit oversteer...curb...shit* why people shouldnt drift on streets haha dont worry just giving ya a hard time hmm id say hammer it out and get aero to cover it up or like posted above cut and weld doesnt look like it would cost that much though...could be worse

JDM side skirts will hide your sins- just pull them close to shape and cover 'em up- done deal!
Then, next time the "previous owner" drifts into a curb, you can just put a new skirt on! LOL
Just messing with you- the damage doesn't look too structural, so just fix it and roll- don't ditch the car over that!

I have a similar problem. Whoever owned the car before me decided to jack up the car and not care about the placement. Oh well, nothing sideskirts won't fix. :hsdance:

if not you can just re-drill some holes thats really easy, or use zipties they work really well, or if drilling is a no go then just get some metal tabs weld to car and use those to bolt/ziptie kit too

i really dont approve off knock-offs but in your case just look on the forums for kits i found a front bumper and fenders for 300 were knock-off but actually fit like a glove...and kits are just sexy
