I couldn't help but laugh. It had the third brake light on the bottom of the bumper that lit up kind of like "Kit" in "Knight Rider" too......

What's the latest & greatest in tire dressing these days? Been a while since I bought some, wondering if there's a new, popular product. Used Stoner More Shine for a while, but the consistency and finish weren't the best. Looking for a deep black look without much shine.

Think this would fit the 2010+ sport bumper?

Photos clearly show installed on a non-sport, but fit seems to indicate that it's not designed to fit to the non-sport bumper perfectly? Maybe the company only had access to a non-sport to test fit?

Basically, the lip is chinese knockoff of a UAE knockoff (Carbon Signal) of a Japanese knockoff (Access Evolution) of a INGS+1 lip

EDIT: Just noticed seller indicates fitment is not for sport bumper and shipping cost $$$

I use a gel and just apply very discreetly to limit sling. People seem to like this though and I may give it a shot one day.

hey guys, quick question. Does anyone know the part number/name of the plastic undercarriage panel on a 2010 g37x sedan. I just did an oil change and notice the plastic under the engine is chewed up and missing the oil filter door. I called infiniti and they gave me a price and not the part number. Any help would be much appreciated.

That happened to me last year. The car was pulled on to a flat-bad, and the chain ripped a big chunk into the underside panel. I didn't notice it for a long while after, so there was no point in bringing it up with the towing service.

Anyway, you're right that the dealership wants big $$$ for this thing. I don't know why, but they do. So I just drilled a few holes, and strategically stitched the panel back together with thick zip-ties.

Maybe you can fix yours?

Also... what oil filter door? What are you talking about? I don't have any door.

IIRC the maxima had a flap you could drop to access the oil filter instead of having to remove the entire lower cover.
I didn't see one since I changed my oil this past weekend.

Yeah man, lots of bolts. I've been soaking mine in WD40 when removing that panel... they're getting pretty corroded.

Probably should replace them with SS or Ti.

I most definitely do not have that same panel. No flap for the filter, no hole for the drain plug. That's really strange... the car in the video is certainly a Sedan. Sport Package, too, from the look of the front bumper.

Maybe it's a model year thing? Or an AWD thing?

Either way, our little filter is sideways. Removing it can be messy, even after fully draining the plug, so I don't see how going through that flap helps. Seems to me it would make even more of a mess than otherwise. Ditto on the drain plug.

LOLOLOL... I just fast forwarded to the point where he made a mess. Priceless. That guy's an idiot. "Lefty loosy, righty tighty" hahaha

Wasn't that bad of a mess. I'm just trying to find that same panel. since i'm missing the flap door and is broken in a couple other spots. I have a 2010 g37x sedan. non sport package. So maybe it only has the flap door is its awd?

That would be my guess. Good luck, man.

Or just take the whole panel off for the OC. Sure, it's a PITA, but not rocket science. After which, you have unfettered access, and no real chance of getting oil everywhere, like video boy did.

BTW, there are aftermarket panels out there, likely to be had for under $200.
