Plastic Engine Underbody Covers
I broke pretty much all the plastic clips that attach these two covers to the bumper.
Anyone use of a good replacement other than OEM? Obvously the cheapies will come loose at speed.

Any dealer should be able to throw some new ones on.
I had the same problem, so when I hap my lip painted and installed I asked to put new ones in and they did no problem.
Zip ties also work well.

OK, went to the dealer. $1 a piece. Guy indicated there is a tool that is used to remove them that is shapped like a "fork" with two ends. Anyone know where to get one? I keep snapping these things with screwdrivers.

They have them in the tool section at any parts store like autozone for around 5 bucks.

its not like you have to cut them off once a week. and for the record, fogs are easier to do from the top anyway.

from the bottom, you have to lay on your back, remove the splash guard, and fit your hands in there to remove them.
from the top, you just stand there, remove the headlights, and remove it.
ive done it both ways, and the top is easier IMO.
