Default Rear Bumper Mod + G35 Splash Guards

Looking everywhere for that combo on a Z. Haven't been able to turn up anything. No idea if it'll even look good considering how far back the splash guards extend. Was just wondering if anyone had a picture of one!

Thanks!

I'm assuming you mean a bumper tuck and g35 splash guards.

Yes, also referred to as the 350Z rear bumper mod.

I'm sorry, mod couldn't possibly refer to adding a diffuser or rear skirt, right?

Your post is a bit confusing...
But,I'll take a crack at it.
Are you trying to fit G35 splash guards on a 350?
Possibly you have seen pics of a G35 with a bumper tuck
thinking,hey...could this combo work on a Z?
Of course bumper tucks are common on a Z.Looking at the
G35 splash guards,they may fit with some trimming.As you said,the
ends extend farther back.If it were me rather than take a chance
to see if they would fit,I'd go to a dealer and try the G35 splash
guards on your Z.Its possible a Infinite dealer may have e'm in stock.

I'm fairly aware of it would take to make it work, I was just wondering if anyone had done it yet? Being that I just picked up the Z and it all stock, and exhaust and some stance will need to be obtained before doing a bumper tuck. Was just looking towards the future.

I searched this...there was a thread posted on 7-22-06.Has a pic from a owner that put these on his Z.
They fit.
Look pretty good.
He used 3-M tape to attach.
Too bad the G guards don't come in CF.Would be a great match for many
diffusers.Should really frame a tucked bumper.

As you will not from Milt's old setup, the G35 splash guards will have trouble attaching if you tuck the rear bumper

Close up,does not look very good.Maybe look better on a dark color car.
Not a great paint match in this pic too.I'd have painted the bolt/screw heads white.Maybe trim the area towards the wheels a bit.Its too long.
Another option on mounting these small body parts rather than use 3-M is to use Seal All adhesive.Works great with applications with a tight fit,especially
pieces like mirror covers etc.Negatives are,fast set up--dries fast and,its
pretty permanent.Will be hard to remove!
