Engine splash shield

[LouCast]

I really hate the plastic splash shield, mine has worn out and is looking really ugly, and certain bolt holes have ripped over time. I really wish they made a metal one with an oil pan and oil filter access door to make oil changes easier.
I know there are some metal ones made for a G35 but none for a M35.

You can always get a custom one made very easily. Antz has one I believe. I was thinking of possibly getting one myself some time this year too since after 8 years of life, mine too is looking a bit haggard now.

I've seen OEM lower covers on E-Bay from actual Infiniti dealers and others. Here is one for $62:

and one for $75 only for AWD models:

I believe Antz metal shield also has a custom cut-out or removable section to allow for easy oil changes too, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah I did go on Ebay and saw they were pretty cheap, but if I can get the one that Antz has that would be great.

I took my plastic shield to a sheet metal shop and they used it as a template to make this:



Works great-no more torn and scraping on the asphalt plastic crap. To change oil they just remove the whole shield-no access panel. I blast thru snowdrifts now!!

Oh, thought you'd like to look at my genuine (Infiniti...) Coco mats:

[LouCast]

LOL I like those mats.
Yeah I hate these sorry plastic covers, even when I worked at infinit I hated doing oil changes, using a bunge cord to hold it back while the oil drained. I know they a metal one with an access door to do oil changes, but I don't know how much it would differ from our underbody.

I asked a dealership near me about a week ago actually about that metal plate version they make for the G35 and 350Z. I was hoping some mounting holes would be close enough to make it work but the dealership said it will not fit right.

CPJ LB that is the one I was looking at, I saw it on facebook. If I lived out there, I definitely make a trip out to vegas to have one made.

Vegas is barely 4 hours from me. Ill see about planning a trip out there with some friends for a weekend and then do a stop by this guy.
