Default Factory aero rocker panels. Wtf

I have the factory aero kit (minus the front lip). I f'd up my rocker panels lifting my car last night and I'm looking for replacement that isn't gonna kill the pocketbook!!
? Should I just put the black plastic panels on? Duraflex? Is there any aerodynamic concerns. Will the factory plastic fit on an aero car. Let me know you thoughts!!!please

factory aero is a regular side just painted to exterior color. There's nothing special....except the matching paint. I actually hate the paint matching on mine as too many rock chips.
You can purchase the OEM pair for about 350. If you insist on paint match...depends where you live but add another 300-500 and you can install yourself.

Thanks all I was actually able to salvage the situation. The skirt just got crushed not broken and 2 of the clips broke off so it was sticking out a 1/2 inch or so from the body part above it. Took them off, warmed them up and carefully bent them back a bit. Then I used some 3m double sided molding tape in the areas where the clips broke off. Looks good as new.
