Default Splash Guard damaged

My dad was backing into our driveway and the splashguard scraped hit the curve and the screws came off and the splash guard was hanging loose, we tried to screw it back on and we did but it just doesn't look as smooth. I just ordered the factory splash guards online, are they hard to put on ? will they look as good as new ( Will it look as it did when it was undamaged? )

If you ordered a new one online it will be NEW and UNDAMAGED.

They just screw back on normally, but the mounting point maybe stripped out when the screws were pulled out in the first place. 3M double sided tape is amazine stuff though and can fix almost anything like Duct tape can.

How did yours come off, and did you try to put it back on and it didn't look smooth so you decided to go ahead and buy new ones ?

No, 3 of them were pretty scraped up so I just replaced all of them. Im assuming that its the rear one thats messed up? Took some pics. Basically there are 3 holes in the bumper and theres 3 threaded spring clips that lip over the holes. What Im thinking (???) happened is that you lost one or all of these. No biggie unless the holes were ripped open. You can pick them up from a decent harware store or Im pretty sure an automotive store. What am I thinking?!!? A whole new set will come with your splash guards! Heres some pics. Let me know if this sheds some light....
