Raise the front of the car then remove the under cover. You'll see if anything is damaged or dented. There's about 14 or 18 of those 10mm bolts + 3 center plastic rivets that hold the thing in place.

The parts that are most prone to that kind of damage would be the engine cradle and the Y-pipe, both are easy to inspect, and like mentioned, going that slow probably just a scrape. The fluid pans are quite a bit higher than those parts so more than likely that's what it was.

Thanks everyone.

I finally got home and the first thing I did was jack up the car and inspect the underside. I found two 10mm bolts missing (one at front and one at back) and I am guessing this was due to tech at dealer being lazy. I don't see any plastic tearing and do not see any impact points any where.

Like a few of you have said, at such slow speed, there was probably no damage.

Thank you all once again!

^^^stainless steel = good, but also = $$$

I always add anti-seize paste to those (easy to rust in place & snap off) 10mm bolts. You can always get them at the dealer, I think they are

Just fixed mine, went to Autozone and found some fat black round push tabs and filled all the holes with them. There's a joke in there somewhere.

Does anyone know if there is a real difference between the screw/bolt that is simply a hex head vs the ones that have a hex head with phillips head too?
