Does your Emira have these fitted underneath in front of the wheels?!

Does everyone's cars have these fitted?

Mine doesn't (UK 2023 V6 First Edition).
I don't know if they were either never fitted, or were knocked off the first time I went over a speed bump.

It’s for better mpg and changes air pressure in the tirewell.

I think Porsche was the first one to add this and everyone copied
 
I think they are sacrificial bumps. The parts catalog calls them a rubbing block. Heres the PN for anyone wondering B132U0123F

I cant find the bigger style ones
 
Looks like some cars have them and some don't. I wonder when they were added and if there's a worthwhile performance increase in retro fitting them?
 
definitely worth it 👌 I did research on this part for other cars years ago it makes a difference

I'm trying to compare photos above. Looks like they attach using screws that are used to attach the floor pan. I wonder if you need slightly longer screws to fit them. If they're cheap and offer a performance increase it seems a worth while mod to add them to older cars.
 
There's 3 screws (diagram). Though it lists same screw for all 3, but only 2 are the rivet/panel screws (A120W6848F). One is a hex.

For me during canyon drives I end up scraping the hell out of them on uneven roads. On one hand I'm happy they're a sacrificial plastic piece that seems to be listed ~$20 USD a piece, on other hand not sure the problems/damage it'll cause making contact and potentially pushing the bumper up (as oppose to no contact at all).

I've not scraped the round pucks, but they're metal and sit up on the incline of the bumper; a concrete parking block or curb will probably get them.
Quite a bit more expensive it seems; MSRP ~$100 USD ea.

Mine is an i4 FE built about a year ago, and it has them. Fwiw
