dont forget that the rocker panels are ONLY different on the 06's that have the sport package. If you get a normal 06 without the sport package (new front bumper,sides and 19") then the body is the same as the 03-05. That is why there is a listing for them in the accessories guide, but for the 06 with the sports package there is a definite change in the front splash guards.

Regarding fitment, I called directly to Infinit Consumer Affairs. The lady tried to explain the difference between factory vs. dealer option which would limit Infinit's liability. That really pissed me off because the splash guards are available for the sports-tuned package based upon the link "Build" on the Infiniti site. At this time, Infinit Consumer Affairs is verifying the parts availability and will call me back today or tomorrow.

How freakin' annoying!! I am told that splash guards can be ordered/factory installed yet the evidence says otherwise. In fact the guy that ordered mine scanned the entire country for 2006's with the guards and couldn't find one.
Tomcatm, I saw the pic in the accessories section but it's hard to confirm if it is indeed a 2006 pic.
Hopefully Infiniti gets their act together by time mine makes it to the pier for the boat ride in about a couple months.

Last week I dropped the car off for the installation for the guards and customed wheels. Apparently the one that they ordered do not fit and will have to re-order the fronts.
I just got off the phone a few minutes ago. The dealer confirmed with Infiniti that the front splash guards are NOT AVAILABLE for the sport suspension.
I can't believe this. I need a few minutes to think this thru. What do yall guys suggest?

They'll likely be available at some point soon, just get a commitment from the sales manager that when they do come in they'll put them on for you per your original agreement.I mean of all things Infiniti can't take care of this before they ship the car over?
It has to be one of the least expensive parts for the car.
we got a few in stock at my dealership now available for '06 w/ sport package side sills. some colors are on backorder so it would be nice to order them early. PM me if you need a set.

i have the 06 with sport suspension and i had the rear splash guards back in october when i bought the car. When i went in to the dealer for my first oil change they put on the fronts....the're pretty much the same, but they do look a little bit smaller than the 03-05 front guards

Damn... all this confusion about mud guards. I tried to order mine and the guy at the dealer told me that they had some fitment issues with the 06 sports suspension. It also had rubbing problems w/ the stock 19's!
For those who have it, please post pics. I had them on the 05 and it did keep the car a bit cleaner, not to mention catch some of the road debris. Any of you running mud guards and aftermarket rims (wide)? Pics if possible.
