Hi all,
I have a 2006 350z Stock everything except 20' rims. I was driving to school today and I was making a right turn into the parking lot (slowly) and as i was turning up the drive way it seemed like my right rear wheel was off of the ground and I scraped my front driverside splash guard pretty bad . Has this every happened to you?

P.S. Where is the best place to get splash guards painted (Is it better to get unpainted and have them painted?)? I'm looking at Nissan Autosports $164 shipped.... (G41 Black).

 

Practice

 

I would just ditch the splash guards

 

Is that a picture of Brandon3434's Nismo?

 

pretty sure it is, ive seen that picture about a month ago or so

 

I just happened to stumble upon it and I just used it so you guys could have a visual instead of just my explanation .

Picture credit to Brandon3434!

 

$164/4 seems a bit expensive. I kept an assortment of splash guards on hand for similar incidents.

 

IMO there is no reason good enough to use someone else's photo ESPECIALLY without giving credit up front, I don't care how cool it might make you look.

 

you gotta angle it everyone knows that

 

Park in the street??? Or put down a series of boards to make a ramp of sorts???

 

Take off the splash guards.The car looks MUCH better without them.
I had to remove mine when I installed skirts and rear add ons.
Should have took e'm off long before.
And yes,its common to have holes in the bottom of the front guards
from everyday driving.

I think it was because of your dubs. Remove them and burn them. How steep was this driveway that you managed to lift a wheel off the ground with stock suspension and 20 inch wheels?

 

Was this the driveway in question?

 

what in the hell were they thinking?

 

Extreme practice for driving stick.

FTW Epic 3 wheel on the Nismo! I need to pick up a set of C/O's and I could probably do that on my driveway.. lol

 

I would recommend getting rid of those 20's asap...

Practice young grasshopper. If you know you cant make an enterance, then why would you even try it? Im riding in stock suspension but my car sits hella low, sometimes i park it in a place where I can keep an eye on it, and walk to my destination. That or avoid places with steep *** inclines/declines...

 

Ditch the splash guards. I do the same thing going into most driveways. I too have 20's, keep yours if you like them. 19's are better 95% of the time, but there are a few 20's out there that work.

 

never happened to me i removed those splash guards first day i bought the car

 

I did when i found out... Post #6


I'm actually looking for 19' rims, but I have no problem with 20's for now. I think I just happened to come at the worst angle possible and that's why it scraped. Sad sad sad...
