Removing Splash Guards???

Hello All,

Does anyone know if the splash guards can be removed without any damage to the car (rear bumper especially)?

Thanks,

Why? They make the rear of the car look better, IMO

I am not sure. I think they are bolted in somehow though. I like the cleaner look myself. The splash guards look too busy IMO

Like Kahboom said the cars looks too busy with them on. It looked great on the G35 though.

By the way the splash guards are bolted in but only on the inside of the wheel well.

For some reason, they were not installed on my car at the port, and I don't miss them at all. Based on the fact that they seem rather small, I'm not sure what benefit they actually provide other than another income source for Infiniti.

I don't think they look bad at all; in fact, I would almost call them discreet.

If they are anything like the sedan, there should be screw(s) in the tire well edge and adhesive foam where it contacts the sheet metal.

Do they come off easy without any damage to the bumper, other than the couple of holes in the tire well area? I am mainly concerned about the paint on the bumper!

Thanks,

Shouldn't be a problem. A friend of mine replaced his on his G35

it will not hurt anything removing them. Just remove the screws then slowly pry away the area with the adhesive foam. Then get some goof off to remove the residue then clean because it will be dirty.

To each his own....I personally love the splashguards on my Obs Black 6MT....They add to the molding for a JDMish suave look....Not too busy for me. However to answer you I think I passed a section on handling splash guards when I skimmed the manual...
