The radiator core support is the black plastic shroud looking thing that holds the radiator in place, and the skid plate is the black thin plastic piece on the bottom of the car to protect it from water and forgien objects to get into the engine bay.

The piece below the engine bay is not a skid plate.

Skid plates are for off-road vehicles, to prevent large obstacles from ripping hole in the oil pan. They are generally made of thick steel.

The plastic piece below the engine bay is for aerodynamics, creating a low pressure zone underneath the car. You don't need it, but I'd recommend having it, particularly if you track the car (on a road course).
