Front Rubber Thingy...

I don't know how to describe it....I know it sounds elementary. You know that big piece of rubber that runs underneath the front of the 8 right where the radiator is? You know the front air intake. Mine has lost the screws or clamps or whatever held it in place, and it's starting to hang down a little. Enough for me to notice at least. Have any of you had that issue, and if so, did you correct it and how?

If you are referring to the underbody panel, the answer is yes, others have had missing screws that secure the front of the panel. In my case, I just installed new speed nuts and screws. If your car is fairly new, chances are the screws were never re-installed at the docks when the front aero piece was added. Take it to a dealer and ask them to fix it.
