I repost my last reply:
Aha, that sounds like the splash shield. Given what you've just described,
the plastic just might be salvageable. It's pretty tough.
Check to see if it's torn. If so, you can use a scriber or sharp punch to
poke holes in it, and "stitch" it together with nylon ties.
If the mount holes are torn, or if the clips have pulled out of the body,
you can get "Christmas tree" clips from any auto parts place.
You may also want to check your local dealer. Those splash shields are
cheaper than you think.

I did keep that in mind, and now that the Civic is 120K, 8 years old, and
dog-eaten, baling wire is on the list of remedies.
When I tied it up, it was substantially there. I didn't look for the
fastening points, I just used the drain cutouts as a place to thread my
twine and pull it forward to where the bumper overlapped it for
aerodynamics.

For it's 8th birthday in March, I think I'll take my HondaCare refund and
get the front end cosmetically repaired.
