Front Underbody Diffuser Damage

Looks like I caught some road debris and my front diffuser took a hard hit. It's still connected near the front bumper, but everything else is somewhat hanging. All mounting clips must have been torn off. It looks like I have enough clearance so this does not affect driveability. Is this worth replacing? Any idea where I can get a replacement besides the dealership?

Thanks!

Dealership... Better the plastic panels taking the damage than your engine. Would new clips be enough or do you need new plastics too? I've taken damage from roadkill twice; I chalk it up to one of the risks of driving a fairly low sports car.

The new clips would partially fix it. It looks like the plastic was torn apart and shredded in some places.

There are some good aftermarket skidplate options out there . I have done a little research and the only downfall is that they are not shaped like OE so the airflow may not be the same. But they do look clean.

I personally am a big fan of all the aero and cooling work that the Mitsu engineers put into the stock undertray.
