Wheel Well Trim

Newbie here and willing to get my hands dirty!

Had a blowout that did damage to the wheel well trim and a little to the underbelly. Pics attached.

Is it as easy as taking the old piece off and replacing with a new one?

Should I replace the underbelly or is there a tape that can be a fix for that (as it is not visible)?

Thanks in advance for all of your help!!!

The underbelly can be repaired by getting some sheet aluminum, cutting to fit over the rip, extending a couple of inches beyond the rip, using some Sikaflex or equal to seal tha patch, and riveting a patch on. A new wheel well trip can be purchased and replace to old damaged one. Not a hard fix!!
