splash shield help

I noticed that my splash shield has come off on the front of the bumper where the holes are and it has completely ripped the holes. If I buy a new shield I have no way to screw it in. What are some options that I have that will help me get this shield on

You could replace all the other trim if you can find a G in the boneyard or someone parting out a car.

Or you'd really have to rig something.


You could also leave it off. I've had mine off for 2 years now and even driven in the snow. No more dirt/rust than usual

Usefull post my A..

You could leave it off but then your engine compartment would look like his! Nissan installed those under shields to keep your engine clean and make things like your belts and sensors last longer. Drill a couple new attachment points in the front and use large diameter washers where needed, it's worth keeping on!

C'mon...doesn't look that bad for a car driven through snow and salt.

Eh, I don't care. My car has 160K miles and is a daily driver. Even with the cover on, the front wheels would sling plenty of snow and salt up under the hood when they were spinning through the snow.

+1 for garyc. I had several seized fasteners that ruined either the splash shield or the trim when I removed them. I got a bunch of replacement nuts from ebay and just drilled new holes next to the old ones. Made sure to use anti-seize when installing the new fasteners.
