Unhappy Side Skirt Help (OEM Part)

I just hit a nice piece of rubber this morning on my way to work and did some damage to my side skirt. I have searched everywhere for the part number, but can't find it anywhere...

I am looking for the front piece that sits right behind the wheel / tire. It is almost like an add-on piece that fits over the side skirt. It's the rounded triangular piece that sits on the front of the panel (attached is a picture).

Does anyone know what this part is called? What the part number is for it? And where I could get my hands on one?

Please help!

That's a mudguard. They come pre-painted from the factory.

I appreciate the quick responses and help! It almost seems as if throwing on some Evo-R blades wouldn't be a bad idea. Splash guard at $85... Evo-R side skirts at $320...? Hmmm decisions, decisions.

For now, that is what I will do. I did a pretty good amount of damage unfortunately. So I will probably look for side skirts in the near future.

Thanks for those links! I'm thinking about using this damage as an excuse to go with some aftermarket skirts... I just can't make up my mind!

Right.. or at least my passenger side panel. I'm not sure if a splash guard would cover the damage from the old one. Plus I have scrapes along the side of the skirt. I'm thinking maybe Stillen sides or just repair mine and add a blade, Ings+1 or Evo-r

if u have a splitter or front lip to match, id probably just fix the one you have now and get the ings+ sides.

those pieces aren't that hard to fix if you have some knowledge of bondo and spray painting. ive painted several pieces like this using factory matched paint (paintscratch.inc, paintworldinc, etc) in my garage with success. trick is the clearcoat.. nice rich coat just barely about to drip but dont. then wetsand to a nice gloss.

in fact my ings+ splitter was clearcoated by me.
