Plastic undercarriage
I have a 2005 RX8, and as I'm working on it, I noticed the plastic undercarriage under the front of the car is beginning to crack, break, and hang.
Should I rip it off, seal/tape it back on, or buy a new one? Its really annoying me.
Any help would be great thanks everyone!

No harm in trying to seal/tape it back up. If that fails to produce the intended results, then replace it. I wouldn't advise ripping it off; it's part of the cars aerodynamics and facilitates the movement of air through the radiator. It also protects the radiator from road debris.

Thanks buddy. I will get it back together. I have some good sealant and gorilla tape. I will jack the car up tomorrow and fix it. I appreciate your feedback thank you.
