There's so much terrible advice in this thread. OP, it's not your bumper that's broken, only the piece of plastic called the bumper cover. A new one is ~$110. All you have to do is buy that and get it painted at a body shop. You can even get one that's pre-painted.
Try plastic welding or epoxy repairs if you want, but if you haven't done this kind of thing before it's going to look like crap and you'll still need to pay out to get it re-painted anyways.
i'd say it's probably a lot cheaper to buy one from a car scrap-yard. sorry to say, but i just googled the car, and found this for less than 100$. also, i'm an experienced welder and sheetmetal worker, but something like that would take probably a week of hammering a piece of sheet metal on my anvil. it;s just cheaper to buy replacement part :)
$12 delivered on Amazon
I just got a new crosstrek, and I did this thing to it:

I can't listen to the video I linked to, but it appears to show the same replacement. I'm not sure where they got that part, but I got mine from amazon for $12.
It took me longer to open the package than it took to install this thing.

Edit:
Ok, the video is for a magnetic thing after you install an ecohitch. My link is to a part that just replaces the body colored cover panel, which the video shows something similar to, that works with no additional parts. The point is, it goes from a bland body colored cover to a textured one that looks more appropriate on the car, it costs $12, and it's dead simple to do.
I plan on getting Primitive skid plates and an Anderson Designs lift kit in the future.
This is the link to the Amazon listing. I grabbed the last one from this seller, but there are links to other sellers there.

Yea I looked at more pics around here and the g37 forum and like the midnight style more than all blacked out.

Amazon has this but I don't think it has the chrome trim, whereas this on ebay does
Mine happened at 3 weeks. This one will save your pride for not a lot of money.

Well, as bad as that looks, she nailed the bumper cover it looks like without doing much damage to the underlying structure.
Here's a deal on a Cobra bumper cover: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B9EX9O0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2T2UYG1M5TGYR&coliid=I3283VWRZ1Q7FC
Something to ponder if you get a good insurance check out of this (Which I hope you do).
Took a Gamble with the cheapest one onAmazon. Install was perfect, both corners poke out about 2-3 mm but way way better than I expected.
If there is no mechanical damage, then it looks like just a new hood, grill and maybe a bumper. Id forget fixing the "A" pillar damage, because I highly doubt the cars with the money it would require. If you get the parts and do the work your self, its probably not that bad, but taking it to a shop would be much more costly. Granted, if there isn't any underneath damage.
Hood: $110
Bumper: $67
Aftermarket Grille: $21
removing all the screws in the wheel wells then drilling holes in the wheel well bonnets to zip strip them secure.
Drilling and installing these in the fender/bumper.
On MKIII+ you'll have to mod/dremmel out an area on the inside of the bumper bracket to install the quick release hardware.
Then just running 4 of the front bolts than can be removed with a Torx bit and socket wrench in about 2 minutes or less.
It's expensive to get done at a shop, but what you did was tear or shear your front right bumper guide. I've done this repair on my 330 before, it's not too hard. You'll remove the light assembly, remove the debris from the left over bumper guide, then jam the replacement into its place. The part you need is this part on amazon.
There's a tutorial here, but unfortunately all of the pictures are gone.
Best of luck to you.

The bumper is $48 new from Amazon.
Understandable, and I appreciate the perspective - I would not have guessed even half of those costs.
Anyway, for me it sounds like the $400 all-said is a pretty good option. My buddy brings these guys thousands of cars to work on, so at least I know the guy doing the work wants to keep my buddy happy so he doesn’t screw up the relationship.
Then again, I’m looking at items like these:
Looks like all of them are at least primed, while a couple of them are both primed and painted to your vehicles specifications. The ebay seller in particular has tons of strong feedback and ships very quickly. I would need to look into the warranty / guarantees a bit further, but I’m wondering if I could grab one of these guys and either just install it myself (assuming I got a painted one) or bring it to a freelancer to paint (assuming I just got the primed version.)
I think I will try calling around to some of the local junk yards as well to see if I can track down any bumper covers that would work and are in decent shape. If I do this, shouldn’t I have the actual bumper part number that’s being replaced though? Otherwise aren’t I relying on the junkyard to properly identify the Camry year, trim, and engine? I’ve noticed that there are several different rear bumpers for the 2010 SE 4 cylinder. As you can see above, there’s
Oops, sorry! The bumper I bought fits like a charm and then I got it repainted for $250 found a local shop. I kept costs down by installing the bumper myself. It's REALLY not difficult. It's just a few plugs you're pulling out and a few screws.
Crash Parts Plus Primed Front Bumper Cover Replacement for 2014-2015 Mazda 3, 3 Sport https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ENY6ZPM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eItczb7C4YX4B
Also that seems in the high end, the lowest I was quoted before I found my $250 guy was about 400 the highest was $800 but that also didn't include labor to put the bumper on.

I found this for 50, but is it missing something for it to be this low cost?
Thanks!
And damn, makes me wonder if I just didn't ask for it when I was ordering my limited... I like that pattern a lot better than the ones I'm seeing available when I shop online

Same here, I own a 2018 Touring same shade, I'm debating between the Mazda official bumper guard (sells for about 100 bucks) and the one on Amazon
I do want to look at it in person next time I go to the dealership, slightly worried about the reflection caused on the tail gate due to its high reflective nature. Have you looked at it in person, as my thoughts, does it complement the look?

It says that it comes primered. This wasn't where I bought it, but it's the same as this one.
