Default Need help finding a part please

Hi everyone. I'm trying to find a part for my car but i'm not sure what it's called and don't know where to get it from.. It's the cover that goes under your car and protects the oil drain plug and etc. Can someone please tell me where I can get it from?

RealOEM is a good resource for looking up part numbers

Pelican Parts is a good source of parts.

I don't remember any cover when I did my oil change. Got any pictures of what you're talking about? I know the x-brace kind of acts as a skid plate to protect your oil pan..

There is a euro part that covers the oil pan, nothing similar came stock on US models.

There is a part that protects the radiator/ac compressor that often gets ripped away.

Skid plate yeahhh! thats what it's called thank you.. I believe my car is missing that because there is no protection down there. Do you guys think i'll be ok without one?

There is no factory skid plate. The euro part is just a cover.
