plastic under cover for engine
 
Hey guys... I am going to sound very stupid but please bear with me

TL DR version is, how much is the plastic under cover for engine? what is product #? where can I buy it etcs.


I was trying to do oil change myself for the first time. So I got the front of the car up using jack lifts i removed 16 10mm bolts and 3 plastic bolts and now I am trying to remove the 14mm drain plug. but the DAMN thing is tightened so much I couldn't do it. so I give up, put the undercover back on, put 3 plastic bolts in thinking I am going to go to the shop so they can do the oil change for me. So I drive there, its not too far drive (6 miles or so).
I was on the most left lane of the high way (2 lane highway with median in the middle..so total 4 lanes both directions combined) and I hear some sound and I look back and my cover fell off and nicely sat on the space between the most left lane( the lane I was in) and the median...

I am thinking it might be too dangerous to stop my car in the highway and pick that up, and start driving back... I am not sure if that is the risk worth taking. So I am trying to see if I can buy it? I have 16 10mm bolts still. I am missing plastic bolts, and the plastic under cover for engine. Where can I buy it and for how much? Also, is it bad to drive away for a bit (like couple days...or upto a week) since even if I buy it right away, it will have to be on tuesday?

Thanks guys... I feel so stupid T_T

There are several Nissan dealer sponsors here. I use Scott at Fontana all the time. They are less than $100. Important for very high speed aerodynamics and I would think with the rain you guys get in Atlanta...very important to keep water out of the electronics.

Here you go!

Lower Engine Splash Shield

Please beware that the plastic shield adds to the support of lower part of the front bumper.

You shouldn't think it's Okay to go without for a long time as it's there for a specific reason.

Also order the 3 replacement plastic fasteners if those were damaged or lost.

I would use a Z Speed metal on if it was me, my plastic one sucked loose and was bouncing under the car on the track.

Yeah I like the ZSpeed metal but it has these huge gaps on each side that weren't there on the plastic one....like it would have taken .50 more aluminum bent and riveted there to address it. I'm no pro mechanic but I immediately noticed it when I unboxed it sitting next to the original...SMH. For 200 bucks I expected better. Shame on me for not noticing in all the pictures of it here on the forum.

I'm having the amuse kit installed on my car and I don't think I can keep my zspeed shroud I'll sell it to you if you want. Its the black one that costs a little more but I'll take 50$ off retail. Its only like 6 weeks old. Let me know. That's 170$ BTW
