Am I missing an underbody panel?

I noticed that it looked like something was "hanging down" at the front of my car when you look at it from the side. Jacked up the car and it looks like I'm missing a panel, but it's the same on the opposite side.

The pic is taken from in front of the passenger side wheel looking up at the hose going to the radiator. Is this how it's supposed to be, with an exposed coolant hose or am I missing something? Couldn't tell from the shop drawings.

If no one answers, I 'll crawl under tomorrow sometime. My initial impression is the thing is one giant skid plate underneath, but I may be wrong.

I am having trouble orienting myself in the picture, but I am sure once I get a look under I will be OK. Is that the driver front wheel in the distance?

Thanks guys. That is the driver's wheel in the distance. The pic was taken directly in front of the passenger side front wheel pretty much below the headlight. The coolant hose goes to the radiator, one on each side.

The underbody panels are a series of panels, not just one big one. I've taken them off years ago when I changed my turn signals to the led drls, but that was years ago and I forget if there was a smaller panel covering the coolant hose, lol.

Asher,

I just went under both sides and they are supposed to be like that.

I took a pic of the same side for you to see as well.
