Hi,

This metal pan/shield/cover under my car (front and centered) is bent so I took it out and plan to replace it. But I do not know what is it called to find a replacement part. It is right under the front bumper and at the center of the car.

Thanks

Good morning.

That is the lower engine cover. It prevents dirt and debris from getting up in the engine compartment from the road.
