replacement stone gaurd?
I had an unfortunate run-in with a low clearance speed bump and royally messed up my stone guard (plastic piece under the front bumper cover. this is no biggie is suppose except that it is a single piece with the front wheel well guards. I want to replace it before cold weather and salted roads corroding my body. anyone know what the part name/number is for this thing or where i could get one? i have scoured sites like college hills honda to no avail.

I also ripped that off (and both plastic wheel well guards) while off-roading.
I plan on adding a sheet metal skid plate and a tube frame bumper while I'm at it. It doesn't snow here so I can do it at my leisure.

Anyway I DIY-replaced mine. This is true: Don't forget to buy bumper clips. You'll need at least 6 of them. Two go into each fender behind the front wheels (so yes, front wheels off when you replace the splash shield), and at least two of them reside under the engine itself - I don't remember exactly how many clips I used on the underside.
Try getting a ramp or at least two jackstands or scissor jacks if you want DIY replacement.
Good luck!

If I remember correctly it was an article under the "Engine" category.

I got the clips from this eBay seller. 15 of them for less than $10... shipped! FWIW, the clips that hold the bumper cover and splash shields in place are not all the same length but are the same diameter. The inner fender liner has a couple of spots that take a smaller diameter clip. (I'm still running without them)
Let's not talk about having to fix the paper thin front fender that got bent when the liner pulled out. I was able to straighten it with my bare hands!

Actually, the damage was minimal at first. I procrastinated and it ended up ugly. If I'd just gone down the next day and bought the front piece, i'd have only been out $30 instead of $130. It provided a good excuse to give the wife, though: Since I was going to have it up in the air tinkering, I bought the fog lights from another Fitfreak and put them in while I was at it.
