Default Should there be a an engine cover under 996 GT2?

I'm looking at a used 996 GT2 and I noticed that the engine is exposed under the car. Are these cars supposed to have a cover (my 993 had large under-car plastic covers for the motor and gearbox)?

Thanks!

Thanks, but a mechanic friend told me they stopped using the engine covers after the 993.

Grant, no engine cover on the 996 GT3. No tranny cover either.

And that would apply to the GT2 as well!

I was going to respond last night that I don't believe the 996 GT2 has an engine undertray. I checked the parts document and no panel back there. I can check a 996 GT2 car for you if needed.
