Thumbs down Clear plastic rear protector scratched...

Hey guys!
So I went to the grocery store right after my last class today. As i found a parking spot, to which i thought "i have a bad feeling someone is going to ding my door or something here....", yet continued to park there (my bad I know dont give me flack i already feel bad enough).

I came out, and checked the car; driver side, all good, passenger side...



Alas, im glad it was JUST the clear protector that got scratched and not the paint or anything.

But now my question: Can i just peel this off and add another one? Does anyone know how i can buy another one of these? I dont even know what the is called to be honest...haha; clear plastic rear protector or something??

does anyone know where or how much these cost? I'll call Austin Infiniti tomorrow and see how much they are.

Thanks!
-Adam

Here's some help....!

Taz, check with your local Infiniti stealership for a price on that piece. Then give Tony a call at Riverside Infiniti 1-800-919-8130 he gives us Driver members great discounts. When your instincts tell you not to park somewhere believe what you're feeling. That drives my wife nuts....

Until some punk starts hating and vandalizes your car for parking like that.

I'd be more worried about the wheel!
Either way hope it all gets resolved soon.

I work at the dealer. At the end of the year my boss gets new books and gives me the old ones because he knows I like to collect them (aka I sell them on ebay) lol

Those stone guards are a pain to put on. I learned it the hard way, wasted 2 sheets. Make sure you wet the surface a little bit before applying, then squeegee the water out.
