There was a gray foam strip hanging from underneath the front end does it need to be replaced

Hey, my name is Dusty and I'm one of the auto experts with RepairPal's Car Genius team here to help! Congrats on the new ride! I can't say for sure, but given that there haven't been any negative results from removing it you're probably okay. It could have been a piece of protective transportation foam that most imported vehicles have applied for the journey into the country. If you're still concerned, just give the dealer a call and see how they recommend proceeding.
