Underbody plastic

Anyone know what the underbody cladding, y'know, the slabs of plastic which smooth the airflow underneath the car might be called by car-part.com?

I had part of a hay bale, moved to the middle of a dark street, catch what I found was a previously broken part of a much larger piece which had been zip-tied back in-place by a previous owner.

Well, this time it split, ripped out a screw, and I'd like to put it right. I think there are fuel lines it covers, but I wasn't eager to make the damage any worse.

I don't know if this helps, but you have to search on the diagrams for the underbody panels on a Lexus OEM parts site. Here's one link. It refers to a floor pan panel, I doubt it is the one you are looking for, but you could start here and explore. Good luck!

I see them on Ebay all the time. Here's an example, when you use the search term "LS460 splash shield":

Well, it's a piece similar to that, yes, but it's not a 'splash shield', per se.

Thanks for the help, my search continues. I've found my newly zip-tied piece doesn't drag on the ground, pretty much regardless, so I'm good...until something else smacks it.

edit: Aaaaah, HA!!!! Close. Very, very close.

I know why this one panel is so difficult to find...only the LWB cars have it. It's a small filler panel between the two large ones which normally attach to each other, on the SWB car. It's a challenge to find on parts diagrams, honestly.
