Ok. Not gonna lie... I'm a skoatch clueless when it comes to car parts and such...
My friend at work said this piece pictured is an air dam. I thought it was the front guard originally.
Anwho, a few weeks ago , I had to reverse my car down a crappy dirt road, got caught on a hidden boulder, and i suspect that the boulder got caught on this plastic piece and pulled it somewhat . Is it suppose to hang this low or look this detatched?

Looks detached. Those push pins are not engaged.

I did something similar to mine. I fixed it with some body fasteners I picked up at Oreilly's Auto Parts and some large zip ties.

The front air dam doesn't have push pins, it has plastic bolts and screws.

From the pics you posted, it looks like you ripped off the bottom of the front bumper from the underlying metal support..

There should be (2) 10mm hex bolts that secure the bottom of the bumper to the cradle support.
