Coverup or repair?

Hey guys, I just had a quick question about damage to the lower portion of my mazdaspeed front bumper. There's like a small fist sized chunk missing out of the very bottom of the front lip. Pretty much I was wondering if there is any way to cover it up instead of repairing it, or if that's even practical in the first place. I'm not even sure if they make lip spoilers for aftermarket bumpers, if they're OEM only, or if they're universal...so I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any that will cover up the lower portion of the mazdaspeed front bumper.

For repairs I was quoted around $950, so if anyone has a cheaper alternative please let me know. Thanks!

On a side note, does anyone know what body kit this is/what those carbon fiber things bolted on in front of the front wheels are? I'm looking for some inspiration and really dig the look of this 8.

Could you take a pic? "small" and "fist sized" don't really make sense to me right now...

Ok no but seriously I thought that sounded weird when I posted it lol, for some reason though my pictures aren't posting...maybe they're too big, give me a second I'll see if I can make it work.

And apparently I'm not intelligent enough to figure it out...so yeah I guess let's just go with the visual that a baby punched out the very bottom edge of my front bumper.
