Default Help with underpanel front bumper

Apparently I ran over something big on the freeway at night, and the left side of the plastic wheel well that is in the front of my left tire is completely gone. I see the wires and everything exposed whereas the right side I still the wheel well. The front bumper is really flimsy and loose, and I think it shifted forward a bit. The left rear bumper is loose too, I think whatever I hit went through the whole left side of my car. Anyone have any suggestions or solutions, also is it dangerous to drive the car like this? I just got the car not too long ago, it's really bothersome cause if I were to even slightly hit something my whole bumper would probably come off due to how flimsy it is. Thanks.

re-install the bumper correctly maybe previous owner didn't do such a great job. If you have an ap1 here you go...although ap2 I believe pretty much the same.

Anyone else have any solutions or input on this situation? If you guys have experienced something similar, could there potentially be more damage that has occurred that I may not be aware of? If anyone is familiar with this kind of situation, feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

Have put the car up on ramps to see what parts are actually damaged/missing?
