Is the splash guard purchase in body colour or comes in black in colour.?

WShade 03-28-2009 09:17 AM

Body color

IMO i don't like the splash guards. A 3m looks cleaner

Has anyone installed these themselves yet? What is the difficulty level and are there any tricky complications?

Mrabyss 04-14-2009 10:18 AM

Installing mine today after work. Got each set for about $79. Got them from the370zstore.com came color matched. I have a pearl white 370 and they look perfect. Will post later about the install. Potentially with pictures if I deam them necessary.

axio 04-28-2009 05:52 PM

Mrabyss, how'd the install go?

Mrabyss 04-29-2009 08:51 AM

Well I said I was going to install them prior to actually reading the directions. Little more in depth than I was expecting. Got to get some time to lift the car and do the drilling out of the rivet that is required to be replaced by a screw from the kit. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this week or weekend and I can get them put on. I will take detailed pictures along the way.

I put the front splash guards on with no problem. You will
have to jack up the car or put it on ramps to drill out the rivet on the bottom. The backs will be a little tougher because you can't turn the wheel to get to the screws in the front. Going to do those later.

jpit,
I'm wondering about the fronts there. When I was reading the instructions, one of the last things on the fronts to do is to 'pull outward' and mark the bottom hole with awl. Then use screw to tighten down.

Here's the question. By this point in the process you have already installed the push pin on the bottom (where the rivet was drilled out) and the screw at the top. How in the world can you pull outward on the guard? I would think that everything is pretty tight at that point.

Can you enlighten future DYI's like me?

Ricer333, you don't have to muscle it outward. It's more of a light pull to align it. Once you're actually doing it, you'll see. The splashguards are very easy to mount.

hmm im missing one of the screw in my left splashguard.... the part# 14-51 00891 and noone knows wtf that is.. what size of screw is it?

Hey guys i need help , so i bought mine own guards and installing myself since i got a ridiculous quote from the dealership ($280) for front and rears like wth. Upon trying to drill out the bottom with 3/16 there is already some type of screw in there, some drill bit type. How did u guys get this out without breaking the plastic ? https://ibb.co/f4qvgk As you can see i already stripped it .That is what is under on the instructions under Fig 1 #7

StormWhite 01-12-2019 09:21 AM

Old thread but I am waiting on some better weather to install front and rear splash guards.

I am sure nosam1g has figured out by now that it is a rivet he is trying to drill out.

Once you have drilled the rivet out the instructions tell you to enlarge the hole to 8mm for the plastic pushpin which seems a little excessive?

Has anyone who has done this confirm that 8mm is correct?

StormWhite 01-19-2019 04:40 AM

8mm is correct tried 7.5mm first but pushpin wouldn't go in.

Front and rear splash guards now fitted. :tiphat:
