Mine didn't import with one in the first place.
The undertray on modern cars is there for aerodynamic reasons, not just to keep engine bay clean.
Smoother airflow under car = less turbulance = less drag = lower cdi.
Also:
Smoother airflow under car = faster airflow under car = lower pressure under car = improved roadholding.
This is why race teams spend so much time on the underpanels; "aero parts" are ofter underbody diffusers etc.
In the extreme, some race teams in the 70's put side skirts on the car which would brush the road, increasing the "ground effect". STP even stuck a bloody big fan on one to help suck it onto the road! All this was considered unfair. This is part of the reason behind the minimum ride height in F1 cars today, and the bit of wood that has to be on the bottom of the car to prevent them being to low.....

This is what I was lead to believe also but mine flaps around when I sit on 100k's making for an annoying noise. Might be time to remove it or try and find a replacement, if anyone knows where I can find on please let me know.

I have a brand new one, but haven't attached it 'cause it doesn't fit with the aftermarket front bar. I have a solution for that, however...

Leaving Skid Marks
For me, I chose to keep it off so I could monitor and check for leaks.
Having it off is fine, even in heavy rain.

Those philips head ones are called 'scrivets' and they suck. I replaced mine with push-type fasteners, just flick them up to remove.
There are three difference sizes you need to get, I can't remember off the top of my head what they were though. I'll have to check.
One size for the cross-member and sides, another size for along the front edge and another size again for the two metal front bar retaining brackets that hang down.
This is the type I recommend:
