Will the 2006 Mugen Lip Cover this?

Hey everyone...So I let my dad drive my car and this is what happens. He ran into an extension of the sidewalk/curb and messed up the front. It's okay, it wasn't his fault...I didn't see it either . Lol okay. Anyways...here are the pictures. I was wondering what I would need to do to fix everything. I'm hoping I can just throw the lip kit on it and call it a day? Thanks to everyone in advance.

A-spec might cover it 90-95%? Get the repair job and then the lip kit. You are just going to have rust, trash/dirt build-up, and added wind noise without the repair.

Been said 12 times but what the hell...you're gonna need a whole new bumper.

Might as well throw a Euro-R lip on at the same time

Okay it might, but by the time you buy the Mugen lip ($$$), and have it painted/installed by a body shop, you're not saving any money over just replacing/painting an OEM bumper. The part about adding a Euro-R lip just makes sense since the bumper would be off tha car anyway.

since when has getting the Mugen lip kit the same (not talking about price-wise) as having the bumper back to how it used to be...save up and take the money you'd spend on getting the bumper replaced and get the Mugen lip since tsxdriver says the damage can be covered, but make sure you get the whole kit, included the sides and rears so it doesn't look goofy

Of course not a cheap fix. If I'm getting the Front lip there's no way that I'm not getting the rest of it done.

The original route was that I would get the Kenstyle bodykit but my shop can't get it for 4-6 months. I'm sorry, I can't wait that long and I don't want to pay the 2grand+ prices on the internet when I know I can get it for around 1800. I then asked about the Mugen parts and they said a little under $1600 and that is definitely a price I can swing with (and have some left over for some Honda badging if you know what I mean ) But I hope I have the right mindset going into this, and I appreciate everyone's help throughout this process. Thanks again
