Either way $400 is ridiculous, even $200 is a bit crazy. I am willing to bet it is at most $30-40 to manufacture.

Oh yeah, I made it work and it's back on the car.

I lost all the little plastic push pins that were holding it in, so I ordered a bag of 25 from Amazon for $5.00. Nissan wanted $6.00 EACH.

You need to find a different stealership. I can get the ones from the trunk with the D ring for approx 3-3.50 each from the dealer and that's in CDN$ too! For the standard push in ones I also went the eBay/amazon route but I know they aren't $6/each up here.

Perfect example for difference between dealers. Just last week I picked up some '15 Nismo aero parts. One dealer wanted 608 for the rear meanwhile 30mins away the other one wanted 378????wtf???? Needless to say I have boycotted the other stealership.

My local body shop will sell me a handful of rivets for a few dollars. Same or better quality than what came from the factory. Closer to $.50 each but I've been told to keep my money a few times. YMMV

I lost that piece long ago. Heard it going under the car and out the back. Didn't know what it was. Thought that I ran over something. When I did my nexted oil change. Then I knew was it was.

Now I have a Z1 undertray.

That part costs about $0.80 to make. Hell of a mark up.
