Front Body Kit Damage - Advice Please
So, the ice finally got to me, not 300 feet from the entrance to my house I spun out and popped over a curb. I was not going fast, about 20mph or so. What I am looking for is some part identification and DIY help (if possible).
Pictures can be found on my picasa page at:

More shots uploaded, I took of the front aero kit piece. More shots of the damage.
I was only going about 20 when I went over the curb via the front right wheel first. The whole car made it into the grass then I drove back. I checked the rest of the car and there was no other body damage to the rest of the car or other body kit pieces.
It looks to me like I need at least a new air dam piece and accent. The black underlining (?) don't know what it is called. Any other rough ideas of things that I should look for? Thanks for the help.
Looked more into this today, got the pieces removed, looks like its just the body kit, the front bumper has no damage to it that I can see. One question I have is, the clips that hold the top of the aero kit near the rotor accent, is that part of the aero kit it self or the front bumper? Thanks again

Looks like front bumper is also damage.
Get 2nd hand front nose is the cheapest way.
Or after market body kit with good figment would do. Just pay for painting. You can do DIY installing.
I crashed into snowbank last year too, that how I got my MS bumper.

the lip ripped the holes out of the front bumper.
i'd take it off and inspect it for damage.
imo, the undertray just looks like its hanging down with the lip and is not damaged.
its possible you MAY get away with just ordering a new lip. but i would take off the front bumper to inspect for damage just to be sure.
