Is my bumper fixable? (hanging/dragging)
Somehow the previous owner of my db managed to mess up quite a few panels and lose quite a few screws/bolts. The air dam underneath my front bumper was hanging a bit low when I got the car. I recently put two plastic bumper clips in the holes underneath (there are no threads or way to bolt anything in). They're holding, but the bumper is still hanging low.
I'm getting ready to paint the car, should I just get a new bumper or is there a way I can fix this one?

zipties or the self tapping screws sound like good choices... the panel is there to help prevent dirt, water and crap all over the underside of your engine.

That's a scary thought. Where did you cut it? As soon as the black air dam part starts, or right after the bolt holes where it hangs by itself?

it isnt necessary but i noticed the bumper is a lot more flimsy without it. with it there and mounted the bumper doesnt move as much

dont cut it off, ur bumper will be weaker and it will leave a spot open for rocks to come in and dent ur radiator up.

Take a drill and drill very small holes in it (about 3-4 pairs all the way across), just big enough for a zip tie. Then grab a zip tie and put it through the holes - you will find something just about anywhere to grab on to (there are pre-drilled holes in the frame/underbody or you can even use the AC lines and such).
I hate driving and seeing someone with an undertray all flapping around - you can't notice when the car is parked but when you're in a driving position its pretty annoying
