Default Under tray damage.......

While I was doing a little DIY oil change tonight I noticed some damage to the rear under tray.

I ran over an unknown item about a month ago in a construction zone. When I pulled over to see if I had anything hanging off the car and look for damage I didn't see even a scratch ......... then I totally forgot about it until tonight.

I could get my finger up in the opening and could not feel any sharp edges and could not see any damage above the tray even with a flashlight so I think I was really lucky,

This damage is right in front of what looks like a rear brake duct on the drivers side.

Does anyone know what's above the tray is in this location?

Should just be a metal floor board there.
Tray is to make bottom of car more aerodynamic.

duct tape is the cheap answer.

Default Rear Body Undercover

The rear undercover body runs about $265 - $300.

"Inexpensive" replacement part considering what most cost

Just to close this out:

Had the dealer look at the under tray damage when the car was in for some other issues.

Got word there was no further damage behind the tray. A few inches over and it could have gotten into the PDCC distribution system.

Got lucky. New under tray is $350 so I'm going to creatively repair it so nothing else gets up into that area.

You could make a claim on your auto insurance for Comp Coverage, since you most likely hit a moving object on the roadway? Would not effect your premium, and probably have a low comp deductible. Either way, you got off pretty easy. Good for you.

Sounds like a job for JB Weld. A few tubes.

Wow am shocked you can get a replacement part of that size on a 911 for only $350. That must be the cheapest larger part on the car!
