Need splash guard
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,
One of my splash guards in the front has ripped (see attached image) and I'm looking to replace it. I have a black 2013 370z. Does anyone have splash guards willing to sell?

I went to the dealer and they told me it will cost $230 for the part and $90 for the installation! This is absurd to me. Something about how they have remove the entire center panel to install it. Anyways, I'd like to avoid the dealer and if anyone has any suggestions I would like to hear them. Thank you in advance.

I've seen them on eBay for $60 whole set painted.

Thanks for the info. And how much should I expect for installation? I feel like the dealer is overcharging and will find another mechanic instead.
Thanks!

The part he's looking for isn't the mud flap. These are the little flaps to the side of the air deflector. It's called an air guide. They're $21.99 plus shipping from Courtesy Parts.

Believe it or not, I happen to have one of these. $20 shipped and it's yours (most of that's shipping). It shows a little bit of wear. It was on the car when I bought it. They had it on the left side so I ordered a right side piece. Then I pulled this one off and found out it was right also.

And might I just say. Do NOT EVER buy anything from that dealer. They are trying to rip you off blind.
$22 part and it takes 5 minutes to install. Three bolts and that's it. Definitely a DIY.



Here's the one that I have for sale:

Are those functional at all? I took mine off because they would scrape in my driveway.

They're supposed to redirect the airflow. Better these drag than you bumper.

I have the 15+ Nismo bumpers now anyhow.

OP, I'm guessing that they were trying to sell you all the deflectors. They long center piece and the two side pieces (which is what you are showing). The centerpiece is about $125 and the two sides are $22 each.

Unless you damaged the center, they are definitely trying to screw you.

Ah gotcha.

Yeah 3- 10mm bolts in about a minute and a half. It's not worth the time or gas to go somewhere to put them.

I was figuring a minute each to find a wrench and put up the wrench. A minute and a half to do the work and a minute and a half to get up off of the ground.
It sucks getting old.
