I think I might've broken the skid plate off of my car, I'm not sure. It's dragging a bit, and I tried popping it back in place, but I don't think it will hold for very long. I'm not actually sure it's BROKEN-broken, or maybe the screws just popped off or something... (Whyyyy did they make those plastic, anyway?) I am curious where I can go to get a new one if it is broken, save from going back to the dealers, where I hear they charge an arm and a leg for a replacement.

Also, does anyone have any pictures on how it's SUPPOSED to look, attached to the car for comparison?
 
Its unlikely you will get one anywhere else other than a dealers.

Its still a new car and the part would not be popular enough for someone to make a aftermarket type one.

Your best option is to remove the panel before you damage it any further. A body shop may be able to repair it with glue, bondo or something like that. If you or someone you know is good working with fiberglass, they could probably help you fix it cheaply enough.

It would be a good idea to order new screws or clips from the dealer though, most times they are plastic and when you remove them, they are easy to damage, or they are broken.

It should be a easy fix.
