Does anyone know a good source for OEM mud flaps for my wife's '00 I30? I'm not looking for side-skirts, just the black mud flaps like on my '97 Maxima. I very much prefer OEM over universal so that they fit properly. I'm also researching the I35 grilles for it because the wife prefers that look However, I haven't found a reputable source yet, and am up in te air on finishes. The ones I've seen so far have all been a titanium or gunmetal shades, whereas her current grille is the stock chrome I30 type. Her car color is the silver/gray (Sterling Mist?), and I don't know how the gunmetal type shades would look. Any thoughts?

On a related note, is there a site for Infiniti vehicles with good parts schematics similar to Courtesy Nissan's for my Maxima?

Just a reminder, Mother's Day is right around the corner.....

Thanks,
Dave

 

I found my painted mudflaps on ebay.

For the FSM check out the nico forums, you can download it from there, it's invaluable for working on the i30.

My 01 is silver and I have added the i35 grille and think it's a huge improvement. Also found it used on ebay.

 

I actually have an oem I35 grill I am selling if your interested. Its in the classifieds.

 

Also, too bad I didnt know there was any interest in the rear mud flaps. I had the same color car and could have taken them off when it was totaled.

 

@2001i30, I'll have to check ebay again. Just concerned about the condition or quality of the parts. I checked for mud flaps already, and only universal types came up. I'll try again with some different search parameters...

@Jmahad01, I'm still contemplating the I35 grille. I'd really like to see one on a silver I30. My concern is the shade of the grille clashing with the silver paint color and all the other chrome trim pieces. Several pics of the grille only that I've seen all have a different color appearance to them. Some of the pics make it look gunmetal (somewhat dark), and others titanium (lighter, like aluminum). What would you consider it in real life?

The mud flaps are my priority because of all the tar getting on the lower doors and rear fender. My Maxima (with flaps) doesn't have that problem at all. I'm tired of cleaning off tar, which seems to be on every road the wife drives on.....

Are there basic black flaps available for the I30 like my black ones on my Maxima?

Thanks again.
Dave
