Protector FR.
Fender Splash Shield.

• Located between the fender and the tire
• Helps shield your vehicle from small rocks and other road debris
• Replace when cracked or broken

Your INFINITI fender's job is to help in safeguarding your undercarriage and wheels from debris on the roadway, protect nearby people or vehicles from small pebbles that might deflect from your tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle in the event of a collision or "fender bender."

For some INFINITI models, the fender has a few separate parts, including a Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). Very often, your INFINITI's fender splash shield can be found inside the wheel well, and sits between your tire and the rest of the fender. All fender splash shields are tailor-made to fit only in certain locations on your vehicle: passenger-side front, passenger-side rear, driver-side front, or driver-side rear. They're also designed with respect to the measurements of particular years and models of INFINITI vehicles.

Due to their positioning within your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) is the outermost layer of defense against incoming debris and contamination. For instance, if a truck drives past your car and kicks a rock up into your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can stop the debris from getting stuck in the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. And, this shield can help protect these parts from weather, which could delay corrosion and wear.

With time and exposure to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can break down, which negatively affects its ability to protect the undercarriage of your vehicle. Additionally, it may break or detach if you scrape a curb or drive through a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can leave part of your vehicle vulnerable to debris, and it will probably generate a grinding or tapping sound if a piece breaks off and flutters up against a tire.

Here's the thing, though: replacing one of your INFINITI's fender splash shields is easy and inexpensive. You want a new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that fits your INFINITI perfectly, so it's wise to purchase a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending on your specific vehicle, the steps for installation may vary slightly. For most vehicles, all you need is the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.

Before you do anything else, start by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Next, remove the bolts and clips that are attached to your current fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, set these small pieces aside (typically, it's better to purchase new fasteners, just in case the old components are worn out). Test the fitment of your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) replacement by setting it inside your wheel well, ensuring any rivets and holes are aligned with the notches and holes in the fender piece. After you've aligned everything, snap or screw the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) onto your INFINITI! For help with this process, visit a nearby INFINITI service site or dealership.

With a few tools and an OEM replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front), you and your INFINITI can be back up to speed with peace of mind!
