Default What is this part called?

In the recent snow in the mid-Atlantic region I made a stupid mistake of driving over and on top of a snow bank in a parking lot. The snow bank damaged the black plastic pan on the bottom of my car behind the front bumper -- this pan protects the bottom of the engine.

I'd like to replace this pan myself, but I have no idea what this part is called. It actually extends from the bumper all the way inside the front wheel well and serves as a liner for the entire well.

If you know what the part name is, please post it. Thank you!

call up carson or sewell lexus and ask them about it. it's the plastic piece that cover / protect the whole bottom of the front. i don't know the exact name but i had a friend who replaced that piece after similar accident (on 2gs). dealership part department usually will understand what you mean

Undo the screws and remove the splash guard. The part number will be molded in on the other side.

i highly recommend you to replace this shield because it can fall off and rip everything underneath your car.

Next time your drive over a snow bank, please remember, its a splash shield, not a skid plate
