did the ix get an undertray? Has anyone found an aftermarket solution?

I'm pretty sure it's ix specific.
If you're talking about a skid plate, the only ones I've ever seen have been homemade.Dave

A lot of them have broken and fallen off over the years. Your best bet for finding one would probably be off a parts car somewhere that still has one.
Realoem pictures the standard E30 undertray (I think) but when you search for the part no it's definitly only for the ix model.

I like having it there. I like to think it keeps deep snow, etc. from getting up in there. I'm not getting to the bottom of the engine that often. :)Dave

There is literally no point in a skid plate on a street ix because they don't suffer from an oil pan hanging below the subframe like the RWD version. Especially coupled with the fact that we can't lower our cars as much as they can.
And the OEM undertray is only going to protect against a little bit of road dirt anyway. You could take a large piece of plastic, cut it to the shape of the car with some half moons for the suspension on either side and make a much better version yourself.AWD > RWD
