What's this?

I noticed a piece of what feels like cardboard with a bit of plastic on the edge under the front of my car. Looks too cheap to be part of the car so I'm thinking its something involved in shipping that the dealer forgot to remove.

All new honda/acura have that plastic.
I think its for protecting the bumper from being scratch when u go over curb first thing you will scratch is that flexible plastic

It's to help reduce wind noise. From Acura Web Site: "a series of underbody fairings control airflow underneath the car and around the front and rear tires".

Guys.. these were added by Honda to improve fuel economy and reduce lift. Possibly to reduce noise as well.

You'll notice the air dams in front of the wheels as well.
