Default New 2002 Accord with damaged front end. Pics

Today my future car's (not mine until im 18) front end was hit. My family went to Oakland to eat and after we came back we discovered the left side of the front end was dented in bad. Some idiot must have hit it when backing out and just left. We don't know who did it so we can't do anything about it. The worst thing was that we just got it about a month ago and didn't even recieve the license plate yet and already the front end is messed up. Here are the pics.









It is very noticeable and will be fixed soon. I'm surprised how easily it dented in. The plastic seems pretty weak and i wonder if it has to be done professionally. I'm pretty sure we will have to get a new one. Does anyone have any ideas for a new front end? My dad wants to stick with the OEM one, but if he sees one he likes, he might get it. Any comments are welcome.

Cliffs: Went to Oakland and front end was hit probably by someone who was backing up. Probably need new one and am taking any suggestions. Feel free to comment. to people who suck at backing up.

take the bumper off, use a heat gun and heat that part up, not too much you might ruin the paint and you can either step on it so it pops back out or use a mallot. works good, we did it to my friends civic,
