Anyone know what this part is called?
I dont know if the there are two or one that's connected, it's located under/near the front bumper valance/deflector and you usually grimace when you go through a nice dip and hear it make contact with the road. It's apparently metal/steel or something of that variation.
If anyone has any idea what it's called or perhaps a part number, I'd grealty appreciate it. Thanks!

If you're referring to the metal "skid rails" as most people refer to them, it's actually the radiator support, and I believe it's one piece, but I could be wrong about that.

SS, I appreciate the response. The air dam/spolier is something that I grind on a daily basis just getting in and out of my garage; the item I'm referring to is in the same area but is definitely a steel/metal bar, and hangs fairly low on both sides as well.

Actually its full name is, "plate, frt bpr imp bar skid". For 1997-2000 it is part # 10400765 and it costs $201
I installed wheels on mine to save it from getting scraped (especially before I fixed my driveway transition).

A&A makes a set of little wheels that bolt to those rails to lessen the impact. Lots of CF members have them on the cars already.

Depending on what year your car is(2002), it's referred to as a spolier or front air dam. It guides the air into the engine(cooling) purposes I guess. :rolleyes: It also swings back and fourth with springs, and it's supposed hit the ground(sometimes), it's normal :thumbs:

I had to replace my "skid bars" (lower radiator support) when I first got my car, it seems the previous owner hit a parking curb hard enough to actually rip the left side skid bar away from the frame!:mad
thank god it just bolts on and was fairly easy to replace. :thumbs:
