UnderBody Panel

I just noticed a opening/hole in the underbody panel just under the drivers door. The panel covers the Fuel Filter. Is the opening supposed to be there? Please see pics. The Hole looks too deliberate to be an accident. Any feedback would be appreciated! I hit a tire recently so I'm a bit paranoid.

YES! You are missing the cover. It covers the main fuel pump (there are two minor pumps and filters in the gas tank).

Get a cover before it fills up with rocks and crap.
