Raise it back up, either that or just leave it off. If it's the piece I'm thinking about which looks like a undercar lip or spoiler (but just rubber) then I would just leave it off, that's what I did when mine came off.

and about the warranty, it should only void your suspension warranty if your suspension f***s up

i removed mine because before i lowered my car, i keep running the front into the curb when i park, and it's all torn. my engine gets really dirty after rain

i am going to replace all those undersides when i have a chance, i think it's about 90 dollars at hondaautomotiveparts.com

The warranty does not cover damage caused by collision. Even if your car were stock, this item would not be covered since it did not just fall off, it was struck and fell off. Plus since the car is lowered, the situation is worse, because your car is closer to objects.

depends on the dealer. some will install it and not void the warrenty, some will install it and cancel the warrenty, and some wont touch the damn car.
