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 protect your wheels and undercarriage from flying debris, shield nearby people or other vehicles from rocks and pebbles that might deflect from your tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle if you're involved in a minor collision.

On quite a few INFINITI models, the fender consists of several distinct parts, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). Very often, the fender splash shield on your INFINITI is mounted to the inside of the wheel well, and sits between the fender and the tire. Fender splash shields are custom designed for specific fitment within your car: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. They're also engineered with respect to the measurements of particular INFINITI models and years.

Due to their positioning in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) serves as the first line of defense from incoming debris and contamination. For example, if a truck speeds beside your INFINITI and kicks a rock up right into your vehicle's wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) helps prevent the rock from affecting the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. Plus, this shield can offer protection for those parts from outside elements, which could slow damage or corrosion.

As it ages and endures exposure to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can degrade, losing its ability to protect your vehicle's complex systems. Additionally, it may break or detach if you hit a curb by accident or drive through a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can leave part of your vehicle vulnerable to debris, and it could also make a scraping or flapping noise if a broken piece is pushed against the nearby tire.

Here's the thing, though: installing a replacement for your INFINITI's fender splash shields is affordable and easy to handle. You need a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that will fit on your INFINITI seamlessly, so it's a good idea to purchase a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the steps for installation can vary a bit. For most vehicles, you'll just need to have the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.

Begin by giving your car a few minutes to cool. Then, remove the bolts and clips from the old fender shield. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (usually, it's advisable to go ahead and buy new fastening pieces, in case the existing hardware is worn). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) by holding it in place, carefully checking that all rivets and holes match the notches and holes in the fender piece. After you've aligned everything, bolt or snap the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) onto your INFINITI! For help with this process, visit a local INFINITI service center.

With a little bit of time and an OEM replacement Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front), your beloved INFINITI can get back to your adventures with confidence!
