Front bumper 'splash guard' scraping?
 
Hello all,

I'm not sure what it is called, but there is a little bit of plastic hanging down under my front bumper (I'm assuming it's a splash guard or something) and it scrapes literally constantly. Is this part of the under tray or a separate piece that could be removed? I've getting sick of it making scraping sounds whenever I pull into a driveway, go over even minor speed bumps slowly, etc.

I had the same problem when I first got the car, i got over it because there is really nothing you can do to it, you replace it with aluminum under tray doesnt change the fact that you will keep scraping and if you take it off you risk damaging oil pan and other stuff

If you're talking about what looks like a mini spoiler, I don't mind it scraping because I consider it a warning sign that I had better be careful. :tup:

If it's the undertray, it shouldn't be hanging down - bolt it back up. If you're talking about the lip on the bottom of the front cover, that's just how a 370Z is.

I find searching a more useful way to prevent scraping.

Totally this.

With the Nismo bumper, there's no warning signs.

I put a foam rubber lip on mine to absorb impact. It's pretty beat up and I'm thinking of replacing it with a sheet of neoprene on the underside of the bumper.. that underside costs 1.5 times as much as the rest of the fascia...

Either remove the front air deflectors or raise the Z ;)

Just have to angle in everywhere and there will be no issues.
