Unhappy Damn snow did this!!..what to do?

First of all I hate Missouri.. we always get the crapiest weather around here then all of a sudden it's beautiful the next!! As most of you know our cars sit fairly low to the ground which always is bad for SNOW...... well to make a long story stort the snow ONLY tore up my splash shield underneath the front bumper... the bumper is fine what had happened is that the snow was accummulating under there and getting heavy and just fell down... i still have the piece but had to remove it to drive till I got another one... my question is.... where could i find another one (besides the damn dealer) and will that effect my performance of the car..... I know come summer and time of the year it probably would but i'm talking now... it's like in the late 20's early mid 30's all week..... Please help!!

THanks

Try Mazmart in the Vendors section. They have used parts available for the car. I'm sure they can get you a replacement in good shape.
If I remember right, running with out one opens you up to damage, to the radiator & air conditioning coil, from rocks bouncing up off the pavement.
