underneath plastic cover ripped off

The plastic cover that protects the under body by the front bumper ripped off. Can anyone point me where I can buy one for a good price.

Thanks!

Just curious how it rips off for you guys? It must have about 15 screws holding it.

Mine gradually fell apart when I park too close and scrape the curb edge (I'm lowered on Eibach springs). Also I was missing some of the metal clips which hold the bolts/screws to the bumper, leading to missing bolts/screws when I drive out. I got so sick of reattaching the plastic cover every time I drive that I took it off and threw it in the dumpster one day. Luckily for me here in Florida, I don't need to worry about it so much since there's hardly rain or extreme weather conditions to come across.

Mine got busted after I installed my bumper. Since I have a huge opening in the middle of the bumper now, it created too much pressure for the stock hardware to hold the cover in place.
I still have it. I just found new ways to secure it. I'm planning on FiberGlassing it in order to reinforce it and to fix the broken adapter holes.

I know this is supposed to reduce drag coeffient, but is there really any reason NOT to take this cover off? Wouldn't it allow for more cold air into the engine bay if its off?

I haven't had mine for 18 months...I havent had any issues, just need to clean the air filter more often and it can get dirty quickly in the desert of AZ.
