Is it possible to DIY fix this?

This is my husband's baby and I accidentally rubbed it against a curb when backing out of a parking spot. Aside from getting the lip re-adhered to the car, is there a way to fix the scrapes along the plastic section of the body kit?

Any advice is appreciated!

Garage List
You can get an aftermarket one on Amazon for pretty cheap... I'd say that would be faster/easier/cheaper than repairing it.
I personally have had very good experience with Ikon parts which you can get direct from them or on Amazon:

its difficult to see from the pic, but does it just need to be reattached and resprayed in black? small body work like this is pretty simple, but that is VERY subjective based on experience. I wouldn't hesitate to sand it down, add some bondo, smooth it out, make the lines clean, respray, clear, then reattach it. easy peasy, but ive done a decent amount of body work on my classic bronco

This happens quite often. Is there an experienced body shop in the area that can provide a quote? It's a starting point for evaluating other options and costs.
