Plastic cover under the engine on V6?

Does anyone have a picture of a V6 model while up on a lift? The first gen TSX had a large plastic cover under the engine but I don't see one on my 2010 TSX V6. Just want to make sure. My car is only a couple of months old and want to make sure I am not missing any pieces. Thanks!

You are not missing anything. Only 4 cylinder model has the under cover secured by 6 bolts. (It's made of plastic and thin metal).

Why doesn't my 2011 TSX i4 base model have one? My engine looks similar to this:






Should it look like this? Or is it only for V6's?

OP is talking about the cover underneath the engine, the one you need to remove in order to do an oil/filter changes etc. It's more of an aerodynamic aid (creating a flatter bottom) than protection as the metal used is pretty flimsy.

if you check my avatar pic, it's my V6 on a lift. You can't really see the front that well but I can confirm there is no engine cover underneath.
