Just wondering because I might have to get another one if it's actually needed for something, but I can't see what besides being a pain in the ***.
There is a purpose for every thing Nissan adds to our G35s! It's design is to keep the road crud from blowing up on top your engine. If you don't care what you engine compartment looks like you could take it off, but then who's retarded? My best advice to you is to buy a few matching bolts from HD and secure it!

Damn hmm.. I need to keep my engine bay looking nice lol. New bolts won't do it and I need to buy a new one because the current one is literally tearing off. Like the holes where the bolts are supposed to go to secure the plastic tray on are gone. The tray is suppose to be secured by several bolts.. forgot how many, but at the momment there's only like 4 on the front that are holding onto it. I'm afraid that if I go on the freeway again then the wind might just rip it right off.

I'll probably just order an aluminum one from TWB within the next few days. Thanks for your input though as always!

Can you buy factory replacement bolts from Infiniti? When I bought the car there were a bunch where the heads had been snapped off.

Good Luck with finding any kind of bolt at the stealership, mine doesn't even carry the plastic push holders....I buy everything I need from my Nissan dealership.

So happy to find this thread! Mine was ripped off when I hit a armadillo on I-75 (along with a fender well, side marker, and ruined my new bumper paint ). I've replaced everything else but this but wanted something more sturdy than the OEM plastic stuff.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can. I bought some replacement plastic clips for my fender liners from them but it is definitely more expensive at the dealer. Look at the online Infiniti sites, they are usually a bit cheaper

Here's what it looked like new:




Yeah I think they have a purpose.

Tollboothwilley has a hardware kit for his shroud for $10. Of course, you'll have to get the old snapped off ones out somehow.
