engine splash guard bolts right up?
I was looking under the engine bay and noticed few bolts holding up the plastic under engine splash guard were missing. I bought some M6-1.0x 25mm bolts and washers and tried to bolt them up through the holes where the bolts originally used to be, but there weren't any threads or a hole for the bolts to bolt onto. Anyone else experienced this or is there suppose to be a nut or something to hold the bolts up?
In one hole, the bolt is there but it's hanging half way out. I tried to unscrew it but it would just spin and would not pop out. I would just leave it since the splash guard isn't dropping down and touching the ground, but since I know it's missing some bolts, it's driving me nuts. Hope someone can help.

Maybe instead of buying the bolts and a threaded metal clip, it might be easier to use a long, plastic bumper clip instead. Or I guess I can be ghetto and use tie-wire instead.

Its on a stock bumper. Its to keep the bottom of the bumper from scraping. Or do I not need it with the metal shroud?

Edit: It seems like most people with an aluminum undershroud dont even use that piece.
