Air Dam Fell!

Well, today im drivin g on the freeway and was cruising at a pretty brisk pace. I get off at my exit and suddenly i hear a CRSSSSSSSSSSSHWRAPSSP type noise comming from the front of my G. (I thought it was snow up in there moving about) so i pull over to make sure its not a flat tire or anything. So i look at the car, fine, nothing wrong. Get driving down the road and tis making the noise again, so i kept it under 40. Pulled into my neighborhood with a big CRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHP and i dont even get to my house. Pull over and look under the front, BAM. The thing is inches off the road so if i break or hit a bump or anything, it rubs.

I took pics and i dont know what to do. Im thinking about running it over to infiniti after school on Wednesday and holding it up with duck tap for the next two days.

that exact same thing happened to me on my old 99 vw passat. I got on the highway and I know that exact sound. Scares the **** outta you! What I did was drill a couple small temporary screws to hold it up and later got it fixed down the road.

Same here my car is much lower then yours so it dragged and flipped back like so (<--) so it really bent it good.

Idk what the dealer would do, they might just clip it back up.

Protect your engine and chassis's undercarriage with ARC's aluminum under panel!

ARC uses the highest quality material for their under panel, which effectively keeps out debris from your engine while providing necessary aerodynamics for the street and the track.
