I recently purchased a set of splash guard from a member on this board. However, it did not come with the mounting screws/bolts/metal bracket so I'm left with the splash guards only. Do you guys recommend me taking to stealer to have them install it while they probably have all the necessary nuts & bolt (probably around $100ish according to other threads)? or should I just purchase the nuts & bolts myself and have someone else install it? Unless, someone on the board is willing to help, I can offer some cash and beer... :P

I would do the installation myself except I recently had an elbow surgery so I don't have full strength or flexibility to jack the car, take the wheels off, unmount the wheel, etc...

Thanks! greatly appreciated for all the response

 

if I was in cal I would hep you out for the beer

 

Try getting some small sheet metal scews from home depot.

As for the extra hand, if your willing to pay for my flight out there first class then id more than willing

 

lol. for the cost of the flight i rather get rip by the dealer :P

Also, do any of you know what size of metal screws? and I read in other thread that it requires some metal bracket? :P

 

no metal brackets.. home depot can be your friend

 

Try any major auto parts stores...they usually have the correct screws & U nuts required to mount splash guards

Just pay the dealer to do it. IT requires a little finesse to make sure there will be no gaps.

Do you have the sticky tape as well? Was it already used? Something else to consider

 

you can do the research by finding out the size of bolt, nut and purchase those at the home depot and if dealer sells the braket then i hope isn't too expensive, otherwise just go with dealer for saving time and worry.

 

I will check when I get home, but I think I have the paper that lists the parts

 

Let me know if you need the parts list. Just got mine in today.

 

I actually end of going to the dealer and the parts department manager was kind enough to find extra package of the nuts & push-pin for the front. He then showed me what i needed for the rear and told me Pepboy has them, which I end of finding all of them.

Yes, the original double sided tape is already used. What's the best way to get used double sided tape off? Goo-Gone to soften it up? :P
Now I just need another person to help me install these....

Nonetheless, I appreciated for all the help and replies!

 

Goo-Gone will work. It's just slow.

 

Installing the front splash guards was fairly easy, however you will need to jack up the G so you can drill a hole for the push pin underneath the side skirt, the rear will be a bit more difficult, would be easier if you removed the wheels, but I was lazy so I just drilled into the rear bumper at an angle to make the holes.
Not sure if you need to remove the old double sided tape, but I think goo gone will do the job, just make sure you get the correct kind of double sided tape, g'luck

 

One more thing...

The instruction from Infiniti (Thanks to my local Infiniti parts manager) said to drill the hole with 8mm drill bits. 8mm is bigger than the hole that's originally provided on the splash guards, so I assume I drill through the hole regardless?

 

Once you get the front splash guard in place, you can then drill the 8mm hole in and put in the push pin underneath ....I think thats how I did mines
