Hello, like an idiot I ran into a curb last night that I didn't see and ended up denting the passenger side front bumper and now there is a piece dragging (from under the car) on the ground as I am driving. Not sure what this piece is called and I am wondering if this can be fixed without replacing the entire front bumper?

Could you take a picture of the piece and post it here? There are a few different pieces involved and depending on what it is will dictate the repair. For instance if it's a part of the bumper cover the repair is different than if it is the L shaped air dam that pins under the car to the radiator support. The first image are the two styles of bumper cover. These are made up of different pieces. Behind this cover are a few other pieces and then below this there is a large plastic air director with a few pieces attached to it as well.
