The front under tray is designed to help extract heated air from directly behind the oil cooler and prevent rocks and debris from entering the engine bay. Mporium and Turner Motorsport offer replacement aluminum under trays to increase the longevity of the tray. I personally would not drive my car without one.

We see a lot of cars driving around without the undertray parts. It won't cause a breakdown but it's not ideal as it leaves your fender liners and bumper cover without support. It also prevents proper cooling, leading to higher oil temperature.. Check out this thread:
