Default C6 Air Dam Replacement

First, an apology for asking for a thread on this. I noticed a little daylight between my air dam and whatever it attaches to while walking to my car in a parking lot. Sure enough, it is loose and hanging on the driver side. I am unable to find a thread on this, although I am sure there is something out there. Also, is there a vender here that sells them? I might as well replace both outer air dams while I am doing it. I am assuming that it is a fairly simple replacement. Thanks in advance.
Rick

Yes it is a simple DIY project. 3 bolts each side I believe 7mm.

Several vendors carry them, Cultrag (forum vendor), I've seen them on fleabay also.

After crawling under it with a flashlight, the screw nearest the fender (outside) pulled away an approximately 1 inch by 1 inch piece of the plastic part that it was screwed to. I can't find that piece in an exploded diagram. Do you have any idea what that may be called?

Not sure what the plastic piece maybe. Unless the metal clip the screw goes into ripped out the plastic it is clipped to. Sorry I don't have a diagram of this. I got feed up with mine scrapping on everything and removed them, now I just worry about the headers srapping.....
