Stock Front Splitter...

You guys know the large plastic plate that serves for aerodynamics and coolingd? of course you do!

well... I had a rabbit run into it at 95 mph while it was parked... and Needless to say the day after I had to use a broomstick to remove the top half of its skull (gave it a big ol' smiley) from the back end of it...

Well its been a couple of weeks...

here are the resulting issues I'm hoping you can help me with.

Ok first off.. The long plastic piece that keeps the rotor emblem attatched to the bottom of the bumper... came off... covered in rabbit blood/ guts...

Rotor emblem/ bottom splitter held onto the car by zip ties run through the front grill...

Ok... second... front plastic part of the passenger wheel well was scraping pretty bad for awhile before I had a chance to re-attach it... It got pulled under my tire and got ripped off.

I was washing my car today and noticed the front bumper was misalligned and popping out right by the passenger side marker... I pushed it back in and it clicked in and looks fine...

However when putting pressure on that side of the bumper (i.e. drying it it is rather week and bends much easier than the driver side)

From what I know... almost every screw hole used for these undercarriage plastic parts... are ripped wide open...

Any ideas? I could really use some help.
