Default fixing a splash guard

I just let my wheel drop over the side of my friend's driveway and took a little chunk out of my passenger side front splash guard.

i was looking at a nissan parts website, but was wondering if there was a better way of fixing or replacing the splash guard?

the part costs 50 bucks on the nissan site. would it be smarter to simply have it repaired? if buying a new one is the answer, can anyone tell me how to remove the splash guard and put a new one on?

Splash guards are sold in pairs. About $58/2. Not worth the trouble of fixing.

thanks for the response.

you're prolly right...it just bugs me that i did that. for 50 only dollars, i figured it would be nice to get it looking good again. are they tough to install and that's why you think they are not worth fixing?

The same thing happened to me, except on the driver's side. I have a Silverstone 03 and I am looking to buy a new splash guard for that side. I hate how you have to buy them in pairs... maybe we can split the cost 25/25 and just send each other what need lol. It would probably end up being a hassle, especially with shipping and such but just thought I'd throw that out there.
