Question New Owner - 2013 Lexus ES300h

GM All

I just purchased a 2013 Lexus ES300h to replace my 13 year old Audi. I love this car - get ride, fantastic mpg and so so quiet.

Have a question about the engine compartment covers under the car. My last three cars - LS400, Infiniti Q45 and Audi A4 all had covers over the bottom of the engine compartment. There is a small cover in the very front of the bottom of the engine compartment on my ES.

Are there supposed to be a cover or covers on this car?

Thanks, Bruce

Like an under tray cover over the whole bottom of the engine compartment? I don't think the ES has one. It doesn't seem to affect aerodynamics as most of the car is flat underneath.

If someone doesn't do it before me, I will post a photo. It will be a couple of days since rain is expected.
