DIY: parts diagram of front/underbody?

Does anyone have a part diagram of the front/underbody of the car? I hit some road debris and cracked the airdam (thankfully, not the bumper) and the plastic cover that is underneath the car. I'm having some trouble ordering the parts (prices ranged from $20 to $180 for the cover) so I wanted to get the actual part number so I know that I'm ordering the right part. Everywhere I go they seem to have a different name for that cover.

awesome! Thanks - that is exactly what I was looking for.

Trussville said $20 for the "skidplate" (as they called it)... what are the chances of that being the right part?

at least my undertray doesn't look as bad as that guy's...

I'm sure that's it - I'd compare the part numbers first. Seems a little inexpensive

Yeah my dealer wanted $147. I expected them to be higher... but $20 didn't sound just right. Thanks for the diagram, I'm gonna dig up the part numbers and do my search again! The pictures also help me see what was involved in replacing it.

Be sure to order plenty of the 56-145C plastic rivets, there are 8 of them on the undercover; two on each side where the corner covers meet the undercover, two at the back center of the undercover, and one on each side at the very far forward tall side pieces where it attaches to the frame rail

they are usually the first thing to pop off hitting things usually between the undercover and the corner covers, you should order extras even because what usually happens is they get knocked out, the undercover bodywork loses rigidity, and then it hangs or busts up the next time it takes a hit. They are inexpensive and good to have around.
