Default Couple questions about my lip and side skirt attachment

Okay I had Maaco put on my front lip awhile back and something has been bugging me a lot about it.
I'm pretty sure they installed the sides closest to the wheels higher up than the front.
Here is a pic with lines drawn on it to help you see what I mean.


The red line is where I think the top of the lip should run along
The yellow line is where it is.

Am I crazy? Or is this worth fixing somehow? My only worry is if there won't be enough room to drill new holes.

My second problem is that when they removed my side skirts to paint them they pretty much got rid of all the plastic things holding it in along the bottom of it and just bolted it on from each side, leaving it kinda wobbly and unstable. Are these just called plastic screws or what? I need to find and buy some replacement ones.






Thanks for reading and hopefully answering my silly questions.

If the back of the lip was lower and even with the red line would that not make the front of the lip sit higher off the ground than the back?
Compare it to the bottom of the rest of the car and see if it generally makes a strait line.

Those plastic pieces can be found at auto parts stores in the "HELP!" section. Just bring it in and match it up.

okay thanks
yeah the lip isn't even with the side skirts so I'm probably going to redo it myself.
