help! plastic shield under bumper coming off...
So i let my mother drive my car the other day, she was only going somewhere really quick so she took my car. On the way back into the driveway she was going entirely too fast and forgot that my car is lowered, when SMACK, the whole underlining of the front bumper scraped for a good foot or so on the concrete.
Its hard to describe exactly what i am talking about....but there is a plastic lining/guard under the bumper that looks to be a keeping rocks and road debris from flying up into the engine. Well that whole piece is like hanging down a good 4/5 inches from the bottom of my bumper and it scrapes on EVERYTHING now.
Does anyone know where i can find a new liner thingy to replace it? am i gonna need a whole new bumper? Can i be ghetto and just zip tie it on somewhere?
It seems to be a problem that alot of honda/acura's have, its just like a flap of plastic that hangs down, and its about 6 inches or so under the bumper.
Here is a pic (borrowed from markzeronine, hope he doesnt mind...i tried to outline what piece i am talking about)
Can ANYONE help me out, let me know how i can fix this damn thing...its really really annoying to hear it scrape on the ground
thanks

(edit, if this needs to be moved to the appearance forums, then thats cool. Just thought i'd get better responses here)

typically when I need parts that are for my Honda, I check out the Honda dealer. Usually they have the best selection of parts for my car.
