Red face 2013 V8, Ripped Off My Stock Splitter; Need Help Replacing

Hi, my front splitter got ripped off on one side, and it also damaged the plastic cover that you have to unlatch in order to change the oil. I've attached some pictures to help give some context.

I live in an area that gets snow and ice, and I drive year-round with snow tires. So I would like help determining how to replace the stock, OEM pieces (there are two of them) and get some advice on stainless steel aftermarket options if they exist.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Mike

Two pieces need to be replaced only.

That looks mostly intact. Can't you reattach?

I wouldn’t get steel. That splitter/plate is meant to breakaway to prevent damage to a much more expensive painted bumper. You risk damaging the bumper if a steel splitter/body plate gets ripped off.

Also, winter tires year round? That must suck for everyday traction!?

Most of the damage looks like it was done to the bottom bumper where the screws and the speed clips were pulled out..
Just so you know there is a liability issue with using a piece of Stainless steel out front for your splitter. Ford never mounted the splitter on the Laguna Seca Boss because if someone got hurt the company was liable and that splitter was plastic. Something like a Stainless razor blade sticking out would not be good. I would just repair the bottom and reattach the stock stuff.
