Where to get undercarriage panel (belly pan)?

[mattd860]

The person who last attached the belly pan (undercarriage panel) - or whaterver you call it - didn't have his head screwed on straight because he used rivets to attached the front of it to the radiator support. The only way to remove it was to rip it off the rivets. I could have ground down the rivets but the pan was already badly damaged and needs replacing.

So where do I get one of these? I've searched ebay, pelican parts, europartsdepot, and even yahoo but either I am using the wrong terminology or no such part exists and what I removed from my car yesterday was custom fabricated or a jerry-rigged(hense the riveting) pan from another car.

In case none of you have any idea of what I am talking about - its the pan (cover, panel) underneath the front of the engine to the front bumper.

Thanks

Patrick at bmaparts.com sells the OEM skidplate for $190. If i remember correctly, you have to give them a call bc its not on the website. Theyre quality steel plates that have slits so you can still get a wrench up there to change oil and whatnot.

I think he is talking about the plastic panel that goes under the front. Maybe I'm wrong, but he said he ripped it...which generally, you cant rip metal with your hands. lol

Yes but the skidplate would replace that and you will not be able to rip it.

FWIW, the plastic trim panel you are probably talking about is called....

I am talking about the plastic "Engine Compartment Screening". I've also seen the metal skid plate but in most of the pics I've seen with the skid plate, the plastic cover is still installed.

The engine compartment screening is what I am going to order. Thanks for all your help.
