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

 

[Beardedbradley]

I don’t , but I do have this.

 

[RoryBellows]

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?

 

[PatrickJS]

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

 

[BoulderTed]

Hmmm ... Pretty sure I only have the metal skid post. Nothing as big as shown in the posted photos or in rubber or plastic. I would like to try them out, as I already have a couple of scrapes on the metal posts. I added Slip-Lo's along my front underside. I'll try to post some photos in the future. I am VERY careful when I see a dip coming, particularly on the highway when I see the car in front of me go into a dip!

I have a i4 First Edition in the US with a build date of July 2024 that has these blocks ahead of the front wheels

 

[docron]

I think thats what these are for. Curb height indicators for the side rockers.

 

[trackday14]

I have a U.S. FE V6 manual transmission - delivered 3/24 - and it has these pieces. I have the Sport Chassis…curious if the Touring has them too…

I have a July 2023 UK V6 FE and it has them.

Mine has them - US Oct '24 I4.

I don't have them

I've got FOMO now I know they are missing!

theyre just molded plastic. I'm assuming someone *could* 3D print sets pretty easily.
