Rear Wheel Well Panel

Hello Gentlemen,

I have searched but couldn't find anything on this topic. Does any one know what that little panel in front of the rear wheel wheel is for? Also is there a way to remove it, I am getting some gunk in the crevices and it is also getting a little"yellow" on my midnight white coupe. Do you think buffing it would bring it back to the color of the rest of the car?

I actually did a little more digging and it looks like I am referring to the protective film that is just in front of the rear wheel well. I thought it was a panel but I looked at it a little better and its just a clear protective film that has discolored and has junk on the edges. I guess i can just peel them off if I want. Anyone know where to buy new ones?

Mine is the same way. I think you'll need to visit a dealer's parts department. I checked discountinfinitiparts.com but I don't see it.

You could probably just get some clear 3m vinyl and trace around the old ones after you take them off to replace it

http://www-jp-carparts.com

Typically I use either jp-carparts.com (JDM parts site) or parts.infinitiusa.com to get part numbers. Then I use discountinfinitiparts.com to get the best price. It just seems that jp-carparts' website is a little easier to use than infiniti's site.

(Bump)

I'm sure a tint shop would give you a reasonable quote to replace that film. Anyone go that route?

Mine are yellowing, too, which sucks in that my car is white. So this has been weighing on my mind for a while.
