Sorry to hear. I'm afraid you will have to buy a new one. Unless you are real good with fiberglass, and don't mind imperfections.
I would just buy new one.

You can patch it, but such a large chunk will probably cause problems after a little while. Better to invest in a new aftermarket bumper now.

Guys buyt our front lip all the time to cover some sorts of damage. Maybe a lip would cover?

If he was hit in the parking lot, I can bet it's higher than what the lip would cover... Good idea though.
