i let my brother borrow my car and i guess he parked too close to a cement block and when he backed out, the black plastic under the front of my car tore half off. my question is... is it nessary to have that piece of plastic there and around how much should a replacement be? thanks guys!

I would get another one. For around no more than 35 or so dollars it is not that expensive. And neither are the clips to hold in on. They put that on from the factory for a reason. To keep debris out from the belts and the filter. You never know when something will fly off these CLEAN roads of the good ol us of a and drill something. Better to break cheap plastic than something expensive.

 

hmmmm water can splash up there and rust everything....if you date me i'll let you have mine

 

damn you for explaining it so well.

 

Sorry...

 

"BLACK PEOPLE UNDER FRONT OF CAR" :O

Thats not very nice :P

 

aww... thanks =)

 

lol kicking online game. That takes skill right there.

Edit: Actually it takes a shameless person

 

If you don't have the money, I understand. But if you do, I don't get why you wouldn't want to fix your car.

BTW, underbody panels are extremely important for the wind to not get stuck in the engine and cause unnecessary pressure in the hood. Aerodynamics are important factors for high speed stability. As you may know, simple underbody chin and diffusers for the track model lower the drag coefficient from 0.30 to 0.29.

Fix it if can. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.

 

if someone can afford a Z, wouldn't they have the money to fix something thats under $100? i thought it was just some kind of plastic to make it look nicer. but i guess i'll take it to nissan when i have the time. thanks =)

 

Mary ---DONT take it to Nissan ---Order the piece and get ur bros butt under the car to replace it ----Hell ---Its 10 little bolts all lined up ---- Take 30 minutes, then make him wear the wrecked one round his neck for a week.!!!!!

 

Anybody going to help her find one? Ok I need one to hehe

 

We have the lower plastic engine cover in stock, PM me if you need a price. You can also get this as an upgrade http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=4422

 

Well I have been putting this off so order placed for the ARC under panel

 

In stock, shipping out today. Last one in the States for a couple months

 

FYI - That engine cover with all the bolts, clip, and nuts is way more than $35. If you were to buy just the lower engine cover from your local NISSAN dealer, you would be paying $108.13 plus tax

 

I was curious but too lazy to look ----Some of those things fool ya, I held off buying a new W Brace for the rear underneith of mine cuz I was afraid of the price and it turned out being cheap and u can buy a new bumper for little more than twice the cost of the plastic cover

 

Yea it is weird on how the pricing is structured on OEM parts, plus NISSAN updating their prie tape so often doesnt help either. If you compare retail price between the bumper and the lower engine cover, the bumper will end up costing close to $100 more.

 

Thanks Andy

 

Thank you sir.
