Fixing cracked ground effecst Due to some mistakes at shops putting my car on a lift, I now have a cracked ground effect that looks like this:
Since it's only plastic and doesnt have anything to do with the structural integrity of the car, I'm sure it'd be easy to just glue the cracks together and put body filler over the lines.
The problem is I never did this before and don't know what products to use. Could anyone suggest what to use and how to do this?
Also, How exactly do you get the ground effects off? How many bolts and what kind of clips are used?
(i know i spelled effects wrong but i cant fix it)

There are several different companies that make plastic/rubber repair products. Most of them are a 2 part mixture. Go to your local auto paint supply store and get the supplies from them. The bottom of the ground effects have screws or bolts in them, take those out and it lifts off.
