Worst Day. Scratched side skirt. Dropped iPhone

Hey everyone, So i'm dying a little inside.

I just curbed my R3's sideskirt today. It's slightly disfigured and has nice long gash about 6inches long.

And to top it all off I just dropped my new 6 Plus which shattered on the ground. Luckily I have Apple Care...

Anyway it's been a rough one and thus I turn to you lovely folk for advice and maybe a little sympathy.

What's the sideskirt made out of? And what's my best bet getting it repaired? Honestly it doesn't look too too bad. I'm sure the average person wouldn't notice anything, but I certainly do. I just want to get her fixed and am wondering what the best course of action would be. Respray and have a body shop repair the damage? Or look around for new skirts?

Thanks everyone

That sucks, did even you get a chance to bend your iPhone before it broke?

Are they stock skirts? I'm pretty sure mine are polyurethane, or some other type of durable plastic, a shop should be able to reform it if it's not too bad. If not, it's probably cheaper to just buy a pair of non-stock skirts and have them painted.

Ya stock R3 skirts. It's not that bad, honestly just a little bulge from it being squished.

Haha no, it doesn't actually seem very bendy.
