Would you bother to fix this?
My car is lowered and I live in SoCal. I feel like the minute I fix this, it's gonna get smashed/cracked again.
Do I just keep on ignoring it or get it repaired?

If it were my car I’d raise it to avoid bottoming out. It’s clearly too low for that environment, and I’d have a hard time accepting it being constantly chewed up. It’s hard to prevent the occasional scuff now and then, but that front end looks to be in rough shape.

if you are asking, you are not worthy.
but
that's just an opinion.<grin>
I could not look at "my car" daily knowing it needed such a repair.
My 993 likely had a lower ride height and in 7 years I never caused damage like yours to mine.

Close up, shot from underneath, of course it looks really bad. TBH, you can barely see it when you are standing in a normal position above the car.
I have a Gert front protection bar on the vehicle..
But, message received.. I've already dropped $13k on it this month. What's a little more

How OCD are you? No, really?
If it's a daily driver and/or you love the pleasure of driving it more than staring at it (yeah, I know we love staring at em, but still!!!), then just leave it alone. Look at the rest of the car: it looks great! Seriously, I'd leave it alone unless you really are that type of guy where this is going to play in your mind all the time. Barring that, there really is much more to enjoy and this is easily --and justifiably-- overlooked.
OTOH, what needs genuinely fixing is that Alfa Spider in the background! Criminy, those wheels are an absolute abomination! The stock Cromodora turbina or the 5-star are the correct look fer cryin out loud!!
