Default lost undertray/under bumper splash

today I exited the gas station ramp a bit too fast and hit the front end hard.

under-tray was gone and now the windshield fluid tank became lose and hanging there

what a bad day, I decided to leave the car with out under tray, will that be an issue?

Mine was missing when I bought it and I was also missing the brake cooling tubes. The wind will then push your fender liners up into the tire and you may then lose the fender liners. I would simply go to rockauto and buy one from them. It is really cheap, and easy to fit. If it tore the tray away from the plastic bumper, you can probably do what I did and simply drill some holes in the underside of the bumper and put some zip ties on to hold it.

My car was hit by a flying truck tire retread on the highway and besides the other damage, my undertray and the brake cooling tubes were destroyed. I've been doing alright without them for the last few months. I don't think my brakes get hot enough to worry about the cooling, but I don't know about the long-term effects.

Thanks for the information. I was wondering if I had to go to the dealer. I hope the 1998 version fits my 2001. I followed the link on Rockauto.com for my 2001 and they do not list it. Mine was all tore up from the previous owners and wanted to get a new one.

That was just a quick link found through google. The 98-03 are all the same, so you won't have an issue.
