Default Front Strakes

I must have hit something and the right front strake under my front bumper got pulled off, leaving a small hole where one of the bolts went. Any suggestions as to how to repair it?

Thanks

Isn't that part of the wheel well liner? I have not even looked at my car for a month. I may go visit it tonight and take a look.

I think you're talking about the following, correct?





This part is installed during part of the dealer prep process, which makes me think it wouldn't be difficult to order. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few dealers that had a few laying around which never made it on a car. I wouldn't worry about replacing it unless it bothers you that much. On my AP1 I would always scrape the hell out of them. Good luck

Sorry I wasn't clear. i do appreciate the responses. I was talking about those little black things that were correctly pictured in the photos. I didn't know that they were added during dealer prep. I thought that they weren't all that important and appreciate the suggestion to not worry about it. I figure that if I did get them replaced that there would be a good chance I'd scrape them off again anyhow.

Thanks again....

Here are the parts and prices to replace them. For less than 20 bucks a side, I'd just go to a dealer and buy them. Make sure you check to make sure you have the clip nut and bolt before ordering. There is nothing more frustrating than getting a part and realizing you don't have the right fasteners.

Thanks, I looked under the car and it looks like I pulled the bolt out that holds it, leaving a bit of a hole.......just how necessary are these?

deflectors serve a valid purpose pushing air away from the tires/contact patch to maintain stability at high speed.
