Ran over trash!

I was driving like I normally do on I-30 outside of Dallas at night and I ran over some trash of some sort. This morning I see that the black plastic guard sorta hanging down on two sides. The first part is not connected to the bumper on the passenger side and a piece is pulled down on the driver side, all on the front of the car.

Where do I get this replaced?

THANKS for any help!!!

Well I know for a fact the way it's ripped I'm going to need to replace that large black plastic cover. It looks hideous hanging down like that! How much do they run around?

is it really that necessary to replace it? you cant justtake it out?

it might sound cheap but if you could epoxy it back together or even duct tape it, it could be a cheap fix

Funny...I thought this was going to be a thread about you running over a GM or Ford vehicle.

LOL, woulda been nice to run over those brands!

I dont think it is repairable. If I remove it, my engine and other components are exposed to the elements from the bottom and may induce rust. The plastic is very tough grade and pretty sure it'll be hard to epoxy.... plus is ghetto as h*ll.

Ghetto?? Who the hell cares is under the car. Get some plastic, some nuts and bolts that are short with a few washers, and a drill. Drill holes for the screws to go throught around the area you want to repair. put the extra plastic you have have bought/found behind it for a patch. drill/screw repeat until sturdy again.
