I am picking up my oem splash guards today and I am attempting to install them myself. I am told its easy, but I have absolutely no experience in installing parts. Has anybody here done this, or have a DIY?

Thanks

if you have both your hands you'll be fine

MattsG37

thats a good answer

when u put them on, let me know if there is any sort of logo on the peel off paper on the double sided tape. i've been wondering what brand double sided tape they use for stuff. can't find anything quite as sticky

I purchased the OEM splash guards and installed them myself. Not too difficult. I used some blue painter's tape to hold the "hole drilling templates" in place.

You need to turn the front wheels to allow you to drill a couple of holes to mount the front splash guards. You need to remove each rear wheel to allow enough space to drill a couple holes for each rear splash guard.

The only "tricky" part was making sure you push enough on the rear splash guards to make sure you align them correctly when you remove the double sided tape covering to stick the rear portion of the rear splash guards to the rear bumper.

Did you get the OEMs, am I reading this correctly? You have to remove the rear wheels and drill holes, I was told there is no drilling involved.

they mount with screws. you have to drill holes for the screws

MattsG37

oh, that sucks, I specifically ordered them because they said no drilling involved, I have no drill or tools or anyway of doing that and dont want to pay infiniti 70hr to do so. Anybody in south florida want to help me out??

i see u have sports package, how come u dont have splash guards?

Kream

yeah I thought they came with all sports package.

Graham

Nope, they are the same as the spoilers, can be had with or without. Probably the majority of Sport models were just produced with the splash guards than not.

MattsG37

yeah I wish they did. I wanted them and the spoiler, but this was all the had on the lot. You would think for 40k they would have 200.00 splash guards.

the car looks complete now. IMO

They do require removing the rear wheels and if the set you got only recomends double side tape for mounting I would go ahead and screw them in as well so they dont come off.
