i think it might be the engine under tray what is that for?

I believe most supra owners remove them, or they have already have been removed. It's easer to work under the car to adjust the power steering belt etc.

I think the original intention of Toyota was to help the fan pull air through the radiator instead of through the bottom of the engine bay. It also keeps any water splashing up onto crank pulley belts. But as I said most people take them off and leave them off.
