2006 Kia Spectra

This winter I ran into a snow birm breaking the front bumper cover. Since then I have had no problems untill recently. There is a box that connects to what seems to be the front grill, maybe for some sort of air intake. It also connects from the top into a hole. The plastic box broke off of the top connection and now drags on the ground if not against my wheel. I've done a duct tape temporary fix. I'm wondering what this box is for and where I can get this fixed. Thank you!

It sounds like the charcoal box. It is part of the EVAP system. Does it have hoses going to it?

It could be that too. Can you upload a picture for me to see so I can be sure?
