Default Underbody Panels

So I pulled up a little too far on a curb I ripped one of the bolts from my under panel. Any idea on if I can fix it?

Seems like the bolt ripped out from where it attaches to the bumper.

I checked and it seems like it pulled that out as well. So the c clamp is still on the bolt

did it rip the plastic? if so you might have to drill a new hole. the clamp straddles the plastic and the nut part goes on the back side and then the bolt goes through the first part of the clamp, then hole in plastic, and then into threaded part of clamp

Perfect I'll have to probably drill a new hole lol. It looks like it ripped the part or tab that holds the c clamp in place. I did hear a cracking or snapping sound it must have been that.

I'm pissed lol I was used to driving my daily driver aka civic si. :/ it sits higher up.
