Default Plastic underpanel ripped

The holes of The plastic underpanel (the one u take off for oil change) are ripped because I ram over something, and I'm planning on buying 12 mm bolt "holes" (not sure wut they're technically called) to glue to the plastic underpanel so ICANN screw in my bumper with the underpanel. Anyone know wut kind of glue will hold together the round piece with the underpanel?

You might be interested in this pan. If not, I'm pretty sure the hardware kit that he is selling is exactly what you're looking for. I'm guessing the "u-nuts" is what you're looking for.

Join the party. Mine ripped clean off 2 weekends ago.

You want advice? Ditch the plastic bullshet and get the one 'TreeFiddy' suggested ^. Best bang for your buck, and much stronger. Im ordering in a week or so.

WRONG!!!!!!! If you dont have one on there not only does it cause pressure problems with air flow at high speeds, But you risk having your front bumper cave in and hurting your engine bay next time you run over somthing

...I donno about all that... bumpers are not made or cardboard and a plastic shroud would do little to add rigidity to the bumper.

The main purpose (As far as Nissan is concerned) is simply to keep debris out of the bay. Little rocks flying up in there may cause unwarranted trips to the dealership for one who doesnt know better.

It does add aerodynamics to the underside, but this function comes at a distant second to its main purpose.
