Default Why is this so saggy && how can I fix it?!!

Wow, this is annoying. I bought my car used and the guy before me installed coolers and the pipes or whatever they are make my underbody so saggy. I've noticed it for a while, but I just installed my coilover and literally, I'm scraping going in a straight line lol. How can I fix this? Can I ziptie it? This is extremely annoying.

heres pics: sorry for the shotty pics, just took a few quick snaps.

Well I can see right away that the silver piece hanging down should be bolted to the frame under there.

um that dust is most likely from a body shop. Notice any yellow grease pen markings under the hood? And those hoses...is there an aftermarket oil cooler on your car or something?

Oh ____! I forgot to mention that I unbolted it real quick to check out what was making it sag so much. Then I just snapped some pics because it was about to rain. Weird huh, rain in AZ?! WTF?!! Even with it bolted in though, it sags so muchh!

Yeah. I said that in the description.

If I use zip ties, what am I supposed to ziptie them to? These things are HEAVY! and i cant find anywhere to ziptie them to..

Dood they are Zip Ties, use your imagination man. You can zip tie em to each other and shove them back in the plastic and just screw the silver flap back up. It will hold.

there is a few clips around the bumpers edge that holds the oil catch or splash guard.. whatever how you call it.
they are cheap from toyota... a few dollars each. plus the other tipe of clips that you have to push in in the middle to take them out.. get thoose too.. whatever else is zip ties.
i bought my scion used and everything was missing from underneath and bought all the screws/clips and now its rock solid.

^ yupp, that's what I ended up having to do. The oil cooler hoses were so damn heavy that even when I ziptied them up, it still sagged. It's safe to take this off right? Can I drive in the rain still? I don't have a cai, so it should be good i'm guessing..
