    Default Splash Panel

    I need some of the plastic nuts that hold the plastic splash panel underneath the car. I can't find them in real oem. Does any know a source, where to find them in real oem or a good substitute?

    I may be wrong but I think I saw some at a hardware store called "ACE Hardware"... I didn't stop to get a good look but may be worth checking out.

    Well, since these use neither a coarse nor fine thread and have a built in washer I don't think they be available there. Good suggestion though.

    They are the same plastic nuts used to hold the rear seat back down.

    Can you take a picute of this splash panel... is it like a tray that keeps water and **** from being thrown into the engine compartment? I didn't think my car had one... hmm

    Get them at the dealer. Last time I needed some, I was buying some other parts and they gave them to me.

    And, yes, the splash panel is a tray that keeps water from being thrown up into the engine compartment and keeps oily drizzles from hitting the driveway. I've got one sitting in my garage. Want a picture of that?

    Mine's at home in the garage, but I can take a picture for you tonight. For the longest time mine was held on by 3 instead of 4 nuts, and I just lost one changing out the water pump. It mounts just behind the grill and under the radiator and keeps water and crap out of the engine compartment.
