Crawling under the car today wasn't very exciting at all.
There is some bubbled up plastic on an edge from road rash, and some breaks
too small to be concerned about, but overall, I think I'll be in fine shape
after replacing 9 of the push-pin fastners.

The piece that hit the ground is about four inches long, from the bumper
back to about the radiator. It wraps up the sides into the fender well,
and I think the fender well connections are all that kept it on the car.

The larger piece of plastic under the engine cavity has some damage, but
that may have been from other road debris over the miles. there are a
couple of pushpins missing of the original 9 in that pan.

I can see where the bumper snagged the piece of rebar and partially tore,
popping some of the pushpins. I found one on top of the engine, pin still
in, but the bulging part of the surrounding plastic was broken off.
