Unhappy new member question

howdy ,new member here and i dont know squat about where to post. i have a 2008 mazda b2300 i bought brand new.driving in ice, i skidded and busted this square looking thing under my radiator.it looks like an undercover protector for my radiator and is made out of plastic and is bolted on.i dont know the name of this part so i get nowhere trying to search on line. i found out the name of the other thingathing i busted which is a"valance".the valance goes under the front bumper and this plastic box is directly behind it under the radiator.i am so distraught over my B2300.please can anyone help?thank you.

this is the plastic box thing, also i need to get bigger tires and wheels. what would be appropriate size?i will post a picture of my truck in my garage .i think i'm getting the hang of this .i just googled and it was there.you can see the right bolt area is broke and i think i even see the right tie rode sleeve curving downward.i hit the curb with the right wheel and my truck jumped and turned *** end and hit a concrete wall with the bumper. so far it doesnt shake or nothing at around 45 mph.but i wont find out for sure until i hit the highway when all thaws out down here.

this is my 2008 mazda b2300, it is all original still but i need to go next size bigger on tires with bigger threads because this ice is killing me. i had to be pulled out of the curb on outside lane because i couldnt even handle the street slope.

holy crap! it's a support called radiator base support. i guess it's holding up my radiator and not just a cover. i just purchased one on e-bay for 52 bucks.
