This is 2017 Maxima SL

Rocker Panel? Rocker Guard? Rocker molding?

Seems like it's gonna cost me 1000$ if I go to a repair shop

Has anyone replaced this by him/herself before?

little bit devasted if I'm being honest

I feel your pain. I did that to my 2007 Vette last summer. Parking lot parking median curb. That $1000 seems about right, for a body shop.

The pain still persists
I'm thinking of putting EZ tape that's used to cover sideskirt. Reckon, it will hide the broken part at least

You will never be happy.

This is about 2 years old, but will give you a ball park and part numbers. I've had to replace rockers 3 times because tire shops didn't pay attention and cracked/bent them putting the car up on the lift. Fortunately I noticed it right away and was able to get the shops to pay.

My Maxima has the optional chrome spear rocker trim extensions which are even worse. I made up a small placard I put on the dash every service visit which asks the tech to use the lift extensions for the lift arms to avoid a bad day for all concerned.

Yep, USD. It was a small independent shop that I had used in the past. This was a couple years ago as well. But at least you have an idea from a parts and effort standpoint.
