Default 2007 Nismo side skirt help!!

I have a 2007 nismo 350z. I had a incident where the driver side skirt got damaged and I am looking for any removal instruction on the OEM nismo side skirt.

I already got the replacement side skirt but need to take this off!!


Ive searched but cant find any help on this.

Thank you in advance

You probably won't find any removal instructions on the NISMO sideskirts. I put a set of them onto a Nissan Sport Magazine racecar and they used a set of internal blind fasteners to hold them onto the OEM sideskirts. I'd remove the sideskirts themselves by jacking up and supporting the side you're removing. There are 8-9 10 mm bolts on the bottom and 1-2 fastners/screws in the wheelwells holding them on. Open the door and pull laterally on the sideskirt to release it. Then you'll need to see how the NISMO additions are held on. Hope this helps!

You shouldn't have to remove the entire side skirt.

You have to take out the actual side skirt 1st, the gray piece is attached to it from the back side

Taking off the gray piece from the acutal side skirt, they are attached by 10mm bolts (i think)

Anyone know where I can get the bolts for these side skirts? Both sides of my nismo skirts are missing the bolts behind the front fender causing them to move out of place.
