Default What are my best options for getting damage fixed

I bought my car used with and these scratches and cracks have been buggin me for the last year

I'm trying to figure out what would be the best and cheapest way to get them fixed.

First the rear ground effects must have got hit in a parking lot or something and there is a crack right on the corner of it and alot of scuffed paint.

Next there is two scratches on the back one right in the middle of the rear ground effects peice and another on the actual bumper right above the other scratch.

Last is some long scratches on the drivers side skirt.

I don't know if I should attempt to fix any of these on my own or just have a body shop do it or maybe one of those mobile dent scratch repair places.

What do you think it would cost to fix these things?

I have that piece of the lip kit for sale and also same color, trying to fix a cracked bumper that is plastic urethane or whatever is not really worth it because it'll just end up cracking again

Was it CPO? You could've had them take care of that.

I thought about trying to glue the crack but I wasn't sure if the oem ground effects were made from ABS or not. I would agree it would probably be hard to keep it from cracking again since its right on the corner were there is alot of pressure.

How much are you asking for the lip kit? Do you also have the front piece of the lip kit I have been searching forever for one of those as well?

If you mean Certified Pre Owned then no it wasn't.

Some of it might buff out. Like on the front right of the bumper( second pic)

Unless it's worse then I can tell. I'm on tapatalk so pictures aren't that clear
