Anyone know how to fix this? I had an incident with a parking stump and almost ripped my front bumper off.. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd imagine you'd get a new bumper installed....

I'd hate to change the bumper for this.. There has to be some fix.

Don't know the exact answer, but unscrew the wheel well liner like you would to remove the front fascia. Look at how that piece was connected and I'd bet you will see a way to re-connect it. Might take a clip or small bolt & nut with washers or some minor fix and nobody will know the difference.

Sorry to necro this, but that is a very common part that breaks with these cars. Even mine is broken. Just push it back in and tighten the bolt. The bolt will clamp it in place so it won't move anymore, anyway.

I'll try it and see if works. Thanks
