Default Damged bumper, diy fix, shop, or just replace? pics

Just as the title says, I hit a sign and it dented the upper part of my bumper and cracked the lower part. I'm wondering what my options are to get it fixed. I've never done any body work on a car before, so I'm not sure if it would be hard to fix myself or not. And because of the crack, I'm not sure if it's even fixable, or if a new bumper would be the best way to go. Please help.

Here's some picks of the damage.

Thanks

Long story short, don't drink and drive! I learned my lesson, my poor car deserves better than that.

But could I add an ITR front lip to cover the bottom crack and repair the top part of the bumper will filling or something?

ITR lips will cover the bottom.

but top one is too messy to fix....so new used bumper?

try useing heat gun and rubber hammer, take it off and heat it with heat gun from back side, and give a light hits with hammer. or use flat wood, with flat serface. it worked pretty alright on my moms accord, some ***-face decide to hit and run.
