*UPDATE* the plastic pan was on the car I was looking at the wrong thing as well as the car not being off the ground enough to look at it. For me too see it I have to lay down flat on the ground. I feel kinda bad but not really.

I trimmed that panel so I can get to my filter easy. I change my oil every 3000 miles, which is about a month and a half. So I am under there alot. I had to make ramps to drive the car onto so I can get the jach under it. I need to change the oil this weekend. So I will try to take a pic of the ramps that I made. All I do is jack it up and put stands under the a arms. I am not small so I need all the room I can to get under there. LOL..

Hmmmm, "...trimmed that panel so I can get to my filter easy"....per the Service Manager at the Toyota/Scion dealership that services my xB...."The panel is designed to protect the oil filter from being ruptured by road debris"....So perhaps trimming the panel could, in the long run, present a problem...damage resulting from a sudden loss of oil from a ruptured filter might present a problem with warranty.

Shoot my car sits sooo low. I trimmed the part that was hinged.I have a dented oil pan I have to make a skid plate someday.
