well last week i ran over a giant raccoon and it ripped my front left fender liner right off, part of the plastic cover under the engine ripped off too and broke the mounting holes under the bumper cover

is there a way to fix this without getting a new bumper? is it necessary to have that cover or can i just leave it off?

 

Any photos of how bad the holes are? I had a similar problem and was able to resolve it by buying a new plastic cover, but in my case the bumper was fine I just had to by some more of those metal brackets that slide onto the bumper.

 

here are some pics



broken tabs



i need help identifying this part, anyone know a part number?

also, i think i might be missing a foam padding somewhere in that area as well as theres one on the other side

any other parts that i may be missing???

 

The first two just look like they've been ripped through (not missing anything). It seems like you might be able to epoxy those tabs shut so it can hold the cover. I wouldn't think you need the cover. A lot of cars don't have them and it doesn't seem like anything will get messed up from normal driving. Who knows though, another racoon might come after your car. What's with racoons and G35s? Wasn't it a racoon that took out half of ttrank's bumper?

 

yeah i may just leave the bottom cover off, but i still need to identify the part in the 3rd pic, i think i will need that as well as the fender liner (which i already have the part number to)

help please!!

 

I believe that is part of a plastic air duct. You are right, a foam piece sits in front of it.

If I'm not mistaken, that foam piece is not required for ppl who have the Nismo front bumper. You might try to ask one of those guys if they have that foam piece.

I currently have my bumper off if you require me to take snap pics tonight.

 

please! if you don't mind, i'd appreciate it very much!
