Default Underbody question.

So, back in February I pulled the trigger on a 2014 Z-51 from Carmax with 18,000ish miles, well the other day I took her in for her first oil change under my ownership and I discovered something a little disturbing while it was on the lift. If I had to guess I'd say the previous owner ran over a tire cap or something, several broken plastic pieces at the leading and trailing edges of the front fender wells and the rear valence pulled fee from it's mounting point on the driver's side, not a particularly big deal to repair the damage, but i need a source for the parts, I did a search on the interwebs, but I really didn't find anything for a '14, I found a couple wheel wells for a '15 but it said they were non compatible. Who's the best source?

It sounds like someone tried to lift vehicle incorrectly.

Not sure which parts are the issue.

Do you have a picture?

Unfortunately no pics, but i found this and circled the problem areas, the thing that lead me to believe it was a tire cap is the black smudges on the aluminum under panels. Again, sorry no pics.
