Good afternoon,

I have a 1997 J30t with about 175,000 miles. There is a plastic piece that bolts to the plastic of the front bumper and also to other points on the front underside of the car. Its width is essentially equal to that of the car, and it is a couple of feet in length. Mine started to come off, due to failure in the plastic, so I removed the rest of it (curiously, the bolts that held it in were unequal in length. I have looked through the shop manual for the name of this part, but I cannot find it. Its purpose seems to be a shield against stuff damaging stuff near the front of the car. There may be some drops of oil on it. I would like to order a replacement, but not knowing what it is, I don't know how to search for it. Thanks.
