I guess I scraped the bottom of my rear bumper on something the other day because my exhaust shroud on the right side it popped off slightly. The three clips on the left are broken off and I can't get the last top clip to clip in. Any ideas on how to get that clip in or am I just going to have to drive around with my shroud hanging off like that until I can get a new one?

Have you tried removing the shroud completely, then reinstalling it? I'm sure a little bit of craftsmanship could hold it together until you get a new one

Yeah, I have tried to remove it but I can't get the plastic rivet that holds it on to break free, the one right behind the rear wheel. For some reason, these seem to be different than the other plastic rivets one the car. Is there a DIY on how to take them off?

Well, I managed to get it completely removed. It seems that the clips on the left side need to slide in before the very top left clip will clip. Those are the clips that are broken so it won't clip. Does anybody know where to get a new bumper guard? The only ones I found online were $70 with shipping a piece. Those were brand new... anyone know where I could get a used one?

You can't try looking at the classifieds here. Some members part their cars out.

Or you can attempt calling a local car yard?
