Default Need some techie help

Hiya guys. I've had my v6 2005 mustang for about a year now. Just recently i was pulling into my friends driveway and my front right wheel went over his curb. The plastic trim piece behind it get ripped off and the metal got bent a bit. Useing a dremel and some other tools i reattached the piece; BUT there is a slight crack in the plastic body right behind the wheel "on the bottom" and the screws that are supposed to help reattach the plastic body to the trim piece is missing. Any recommendations on ordering those screws?

try the dealer but first drill a tiny hole at the end of the crack that
will prevent it from spreading ,then at little glue or gib weld

You might want to take it to a tire/wheel shop. They weld cracks in wheels and fill and sand them all the time. It shouldnt be too expensive either. Definitely a good idea to fix that though, because stuff like that spreads especially at high speeds and on bumps etc.

Thanks so much guys. I'll drill that hole right now and head off to a mechanics. BTW i believe the partially cracked piece is called a rear insulator. And how large should the hole be? 1/8 an inch radius?
