Thanks for the reassurance. Hopefully an alignment is all that is needed. It drives perfectly, but just to be sure. I've read horror stories online about hitting curbs and thousands of dollars, so I'm just worried (bent control arms, ball joint, tie rod ends, strut, strut mount, wheel bearing, sway bar, brakes (rotors), calipers, suspension parts, frame... and the list goes on)
Not worried about warranty, since I'm probably doing an indy...
I looked at it today carefully, it turns out the sideskirt was damaged
Good thing it's only a $100 part... just need to get a good place to paint it with quality paint. Heard aftermarket sprays aren't the same because factory bakes your paint. Will report back with inspection results later this week...

Part #1 is the sideskirt, right? Does anyone know if I'll need parts, like molding or gasket, or are they reusable from the old one?
