Default Help! Broken fender flare

Not much of a car tech person... recently ripped back right fender flare off of my 2000 Cherokee, including damage to what I'm assuming is the track. Was wondering if this is something that can easily be fixed at home or if its going to turn into a full blown, couple hundred dollar repair at a shop.

Attached an image, not able to attach the one from arial view - any help or information is much appreciated!

What did you hit ?Looks like you could beat that piece of metal back in to place and put the flare back on over it maybe.

Those brackets are usually a pain to get right. If you're lucky, you can unbolt them without breaking anything, straighten them out, add to the flare and bolt back on. But I've rarely heard of them going back on very easy.

Those are called Flare Retention Strips. They can be bought individually at Quadratec. They run $8 a pop.
