(2nd Gen Rogue) Chrome Piece under the back of the car?

[N.Y.C.H]

I've seen a few rogues that below the car, it looks like there is 2 or 3 lines of silver or chrome, than others its all black underneith. I am not talking about the chrome protector accesory in the cargo area it is below that. My rogue has what looks like chrome or something like that, so I am just wondering what it is. I am going to check closer tommorow, and will include a picture, but thought I would post this and see if anyone else noticed or knows anything about it too.

It is a 2015 Nissan rogue

[Rogue One]

Probably after market detailing done by a local dealership. There's nothing like what you've described on the official website. The dealership I used to work at had a subcontractor come out to add chrome trim to both new and used vehicles, just to make them stand out.

I've seen other rogues with it, from different dealers. I will have to get a picture of it. It looks like equipment thats under the car, but its like silver/ chrome vs black.

If I'm not mistaken these piece came on 2015 model.

Are you sure it wasn't a Murano you were looking at? Murano

It is the muffler and the muffler shield. It would be nice if the muffler shield could be painted black.

[N.Y.C.H]

Yea i think it must be the muffler shield. Is it something that could be painted?

[outtolearn88]

Yes definitely it could be. The 2014 Rogues have it in black. Well I know my 2014 SL awd has it in black. I really prefer it in black.

this was what i was talking about

Don't see it under accessories: http://www.nissanusa.com/buildyournissa ... ries/index
Wonder if it has something to do with the family package?

Did you bring it back to the dealership and ask if it can be painted? I am curious how hot that shield gets, being its attached to the muffler. If it would be ok to use a rustoleum paint. It would look nice black.

[N.Y.C.H]

No there is no 3rd row on these. I have seen it on SL models also. It must be on 2015 models. No i have not gotten a chance to see if it can be painted.

Its one of the pieces they added to the undercarriage to help with aerodynamics. It's on all new Rogues

I think one of the engineers referred to it as a "muffler spoiler"

[Pop-Pop]

I kind of like it :-)

[Rogue One]

..."muffler spoiler"

It wouldn't be bad silver, if it had more of a finished look. Instead of looking like some kind of radiator.
