What are these and where the hell do they go?

[Tranzor Z]

These were in the hatch when I got the car along with the front splitter and part of the lower grill. Where do they go and wtf are they?

Those are the air dams that go in front of the front tires. The dealership should install all those items during the PDI process (they're paid by Nissan to do so). Very quick & easy to do though. They, in theory, reduce front lift and improve aerodynamics.

Thanks vette guy. I had the car delivered from 5 hours away and had I known this shit was in the hatch I would have told those idiots to install all this shit. I wonder if Nissan would make good and put the splitter on no charge? Problem is, I didn't buy the car locally.

Hopefully they left the baggie of bolts in there for you too?

If I remember right when i installed mine there was just one extra bolt per side for the air deflectors. Two of them are re-used and already installed under the car.

The chin spoiler was easy to install too. Rivet gun + 10 minutes = installed.

I was supposed to go back to the dealer to have that stuff installed by them because I bought my Z on a Friday night but I just did it myself.



Did you check if your front grill tow-hook cover is on too? Those were the 3 thing i did myself. It just snaps into place.

Yea. Same thing happened to me. Boneheads

I saw the title, and I knew EXACTLY the part that was going to be referenced!

The dealership told me they only install the splitter if the customer requested it.

As for the 2 extra bolts, I don't have them.

Yes I snapped the tow hook cover on.

I don't have a rivet gun.

I used this one to install sideskirts on my C7:

Here's another they offer:

Both include 100 assorted various sized rivets.

Vette guy, thanks. I had no idea they were so cheap. I've seen videos of people doing it without a rivet gun. I would buy that but the problem is I don't think I have clearance to do that. I don't have a jack or stands so without one I figured the gun won't open up all the way huh?

Yeah that part will be tough... Do you have a local dealership you use for oil changes, warranty work, etc? When I had my car in for 2 recalls last week they went ahead and disabled ASE for me at no charge. This may be a good situation to slide a "while we're at it..." type of thing in. As long as the tech is making some money on the car already, a quick few second job likely shouldn't cause them any grief (especially since its already up in the air for an oil change, tire rotation, whatever).

I think you're in DFW IIRC, otherwise I'd say swing on over!
