Dumb question about my underbody shield

kittens · 11-12-2013, 11:29 AM

Well a nissan body shop installed it... But anything is possible lol

It was a new part that I got put on after I destroyed my old one by bottoming out very hard (stupid massive dip on the road)

Edit: even though the stickers are on te outside I think it's right way up, otherwise wouldn't it be sort of concave? Like it still seems to hold correctly

Yeah, I don't think it's symmetrical so it couldn't be flipped & still fit.

There are a TON of fasteners in this thing. Maybe some of them are missing? Maybe get a diagram showing where they all are & then reach under there and make sure you're not missing any (I'm assuming you don't have a lift).

I know when I had an oil change, they left a few out - I think they just get tired of putting all of them back or drop some of them.
