Default Screwed or able to fix?
Couple days ago I was leaving the local Taco Hell and wasn't paying attention to where the curb started and I came out and fell hard on the pass side side skirt (i know its not a skirt but dont know what to call it??) and now its pretty banged up. Is there a piece they sell for this or its pretty much screwed?

I would try to pull as much of it as I can out using some kind of dent puller and it'll have to have some body filler. If you paint it, you'll want to do some kind of guide coat to make sure everything is even because sometimes you can pull dents out too far and they need to be tapped back down a bit.
