While on a trip recently, i guess my underside splash shield came loose and a piece tore off in the passenger wheel well. Is this really the correct part for replacement?

Only $12 so i am skeptical as I got a basic quote somewhere just to see and they figured the part would be $130. Also i will have to double check mine closer, but I thought it went out a bit further under the vehicle on that flat portion.
Kind of sad it happened as I noticed quite a few bolts were loose or missing on the large middle section too (once i tried to get under and see what all was wrong), I would have though the dealer would be smart enough to notice that and either tighten them or mention the missing bolts and try to make a few bucks off replacing them. I think this damage could have been easily prevented.
Has anyone replaced theirs before? If so, did you use a similar piece to what i linked and similar price?
I can add a photo later if someone needs it to help clarify what I am talking about.

To clarify since you have changed yours, does that part I linked look correct then? Just want to be sure that's really how short it is for the underside flat portion. Also, like you said I may just buy one of the cheap ones and see what its like, but I want to know it is at least close looking from the start.
Proper fitment, mounting holes, etc will be questionable on the cheap one, but it may work out great too.

Only one that I found with a quick search. (I'm sure you could have too).

Mind linking where you order your OEM ones from? Also willing to share the price you have paid? I may look into just patching the current one and calling it good as well, will look more this weekend.
