Splash guard replacement?

So I went to the dealership for service and he told me that my splash guard is cracked and broken...so I asked him which part was cracked because apparently it comes in 6 pieces...he then said they all have to be replaced for CAN $450 bucks. I asked him for some zip ties and Put it all back together nice and neat but was curious is there a cheaper way to replace this and do I have to replace the whole kit?

If possible and same price I would rather get a metal Shield for the undercarriage? Any thoughts?

Also what is the exact name of these parts it's the soft plastic under the car to Prevent mud and stuff?

I don't recommend aftermarket splash shields because they aren't aerodynamically engineered, nor do they provide the efficient cooling the stock one does. If you look carefully at the stock one, there are pathways and vents that lead to the transmission / transfercase (especially important in an MR).

Perhaps you can find one used on here?

Best bet is to PM RussellM (on here) at Mitsubishiparts.net and ask him straight up what you need. I'm sure he can get you any part.
