Thanks for the replies everyone.

I had already fixed it on Sunday within an hour of the "accident" and it looks just fine, but I know there are some broken pieces under there and it bothers me. I have already bought the black plastic support bracket that you can see in the picture, and I will be fixing the broken bumper tabs this coming weekend (if I have any time). Even if I leave it as it is nobody is going to know anything happened to it because it looks fine. That is nobody but me and you guys

Actually I would much rather have somthing like this happen vs. a curbed wheel or a dented door. I was able to fix this within an hour of it happening to a satisfactory level. I have also bought the support bracket for $6.88 and will fix the broken tabs on the bumper to make it as close to perfect as possible internally and certainly perfect externally/aesthetically. If it were a door ding or a curbed wheel then I could not repair it myself and it may need to be repainted, which would not be a good thing. I have had a curbed wheel for about a year now and I still haven't had it fixed
