I don't know what the heck I ran over in the parking lot today but I think it was a small curb for a loading zone that I didn't see. Damage isn't visible until you get down and look at it. Do I need to get this repaired? There is definitely a small dent to the panel down there (from looking around on the forum I gather this is called the rocker panel?). I'm assuming I need to get the plastic cover replaced but the actual panel looks to be slightly warped/dented too. I am supposed to be driving across the country next week so I'm biased towards a faster fix. Also recently got laid off so would love to not spend the 10k I saw other people quoted for replacing the rocker panel. Also I'm not a vampire I photoshopped my face out of the reflection in the third picture.
I'm looking for advice and opinions because I don't know what to do or even what the options are here. It looks to me like it shouldn't be a huge expense but the other posts on the forum indicate otherwise...
