Default Looking for the front slash guards under the S

did that make sense? i'm looking for the pieces that go underneath our cars. like a mudflap i guess.

when i bought my car used, they did not come with the car.

anyone know what they are normally called and if they sell them online?

i can probably get them at the dealer. just looking around before i purchase. thanks in advance guys.

They are called "strakes":

Part #12 in the link. They are designated left and right so make sure you order the correct one. Also, on yours, they may have been ripped off by a parking block or something and you need to check to see if the attachment points are still intact. If not, then getting new strakes won't help if you don't have the places to screw them in.

what i've read on s2ki is that it blocks water from the road while driving in wet conditions. is that correct?

They are aero aids to deflect the wind away from the contact patches of the tires for stability at speed.
