Default engine shield cover advice

Hi, so there is a noise that comes on the car at highway speed....we put it up on the ramp, and noticed the engine shield to be loose, as some screws had fallen off for some reason

Anyways, want to get a replacement shield, any thoughts (i dont think those screws are available aftermarket)

was looking at this site

thanks

Is the original still intact and usable or is it now damaged? If it is good then you just need a set of new pins/clips, depending on what is missing, which are relatively cheap. Should only be $1 or $2 a piece at the dealership.

As for the part you listed, not even sure that comes with new pins/clips for your use.

FYI, the push pins for the splash shield are $4 - $8 each at the stealership!
