9-5 Aero Airdam damage...

Well - this weekend has not been good for the Saabs. Discovered that my 85 900S has some damage to the flywheel. I'll be replacing that next weekend. :(
On Friday evening, I was driving home on the freeway and the car in front of my swerved a bit - then I saw the debris laying in the middle of my lane. Well, there was no where for me to go and I couldn't slam on my brakes. So, I lost my drivers side foglight and the lower lip on my airdam. Actually, I've still got it but it's cracked and needs to be replaced now. Quite a bummer. The main body of the bumper looks ok with the exception that the upper edge/corner that lines up with the front quarter-panel is slightly off also. I'm guess that is just broke one fastener up there and that the main bumper/airdam assembly is ok. I certainly hope it is.
Anyway, anyone replaced the lower lip? This part is gray on base and SE cars but body-colored on Aero's... Can I easily do this myself? Being that my car is only 9 months old, I'd guess they don't have to do complex paint matching but who knows. In any case, this is one hell of a bummer. I'm hoping I can do this myself and pay out of pocket rather than make a claim, especially since I'm looking forward to a 30-40% reduction in my insurance rates when I turn 25 and one claim from 3 years ago drops off my record. I'd hate to lose that rate reduction by claiming this.
