Pics aren't showing up. Many auto parts stores have Bondo. Paint shops also should have fibreglass paste, which functions similarly. Whether they'll work depends on the job.

I had the same thing happen to me on my camaro but not as bad, I took it to the dealer to try and have them fix it under warranty, which understandably they denied to replace the fender but the did straighten out the bent bracket, so the only way to completely fix it is to find a new fender.

Yeah, you're definately gonna need a new fender for that. I had my car drop off the jack when I was changing a flat and cracked it going up the side right there. It's plastic, so just using bondo won't fix it.

There is nothing else under the fender in the area you hit it at. Fender is easy to take off. Remove the bolts holding it inside your engine bay, the two at the bottom of the car and there is one around the mirror area and another bracket at the front of your door.
