What is the plastic piece under my car?

louiey370z · 04-18-2015, 09:22 PM

So, long story short, it ripped off and I need to replace it. Is it called a "Splash shield"? (http://www.carparts.com/details/Niss...7-3c6010095837)

The nissan dealership wanted 200$ to replace it, but they said if I buy it online, they'll put it on for free, so I figured I'll just buy the piece online for cheaper. Is that the correct one? Thanks

Oh **** realized carparts.com is a horrible website. No wonder they're so cheap.

are you talking about the wide/big plastic piece that covers the bottom part of the engine? if so, how did that get ripped off?....

Buy the zspeed aluminum one. It's a much better piece.

I talked to some guy from the dealership and i was told instead of paying the dealership directly (260$ for the piece), I can find one online for 60$~ and they'll do the install free. Any idea where I can find one for 60$~? I'm not tripping to much about it being aluminum or plastic, as long as the job gets done

Just get the aluminum one. It does a much better job. And install it for free?

If it takes you more then ten minutes to install it you're doing something wrong.

The question is be4 u get it, are ur bumper hinges(?) Are ripped off? If so the new one ull get will not be able to be put it on all the way, and eventually it will fly off/bend, its still a problem.

Has anyone used the ZSpeed one with an oil cooler? Is it still easy to access the filter/hoses? (Is the oil change opening big enough?)
