Due to the poor design of Hawaii's freeway off ramps, during pau hana time, the off ramp usually backs up onto the freeway forcing us to line up along the shoulder lane. While I was inching forward behind a long line of cars I heard a crunch noise under the front of the car. After inspection, it was probably a large rock that the car in front of me cleared that I could not. Due to us being bumper to bumper I didn't see the rock. Anyway, here is the damage. I know the lip is easy to identify and order but what is the black plastic piece that I assume secures the painted under panel to the bottom of the luggage compartment. I looked through the parts catalogue but couldn't identify it. Please help identify the part number and a suggested place/online site to order another one. I will replace it myself as it is secured by a simple torx screw. Thanks in advance!
I'm sorry to tell you mate but that part is not available as a single piece and can only be bought with the front bumper kit at a very large price. I had something similar occur and had a body shop heat it up and manipulate it back into shape and its been just fine. Its only there to stop the back part of the bumper hanging down and underneath will get plenty of marks in time..
I assume you don't have front lift, or your roads are "really" bad
I was in bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway offramp shoulder. Being behind the car in front of me, I did not see the rock. I have the lift, but I don't normally use it when driving...only for ramps and curbs.
Thanks for the help, I will order a new lip and wait until the lip gets really bad to replace it. In regards to the support piece, I will try the heat gun method when I get the chance.

If you can't see under the car in front of you, you're driving too closely.

Haha, maybe true. After getting the GT3 I drive very considerably. Leaving a huge gap in front of me might not go over too well. Since the car attracts so much attention I don't want to be THAT guy in the sports car driving like a douche.
