Hey folks,
I am new to yalls forum, and recently got an 08 G8 (3.6 L V6). And I was wondering, if it's supposed to have that engine splash shield installed? Like what they usually install on the G6, which I know for sure?
The thing is, that I bought this G8 used, and the guy I bought it from told that it wasn't there - is that true? Or even if not, should I get one in?
I read that this is a cool thing to have, as apart of protecting the engine from slush, moisture and stuff it also improves aerodymanics, which is also cool to my mind.
PS - the G8 is new to me so I hope yall will not laugh at my question, which may seem obvious to those who know every bolt in this Pontiac
Cheers!

You mean the plastic part on the bottom that sits under the radiator? It should be there.

There is not plastic that is directly under the engine on any G8 through.

Okay, I found this piece for G6, which is obviously smaller (to my mind), here is what I mean: https://www.carid.com/engine-splash-shields/
And I haven't got this shield on my G8, so I was wondering if it was supposed to be there? As if it should be, I'll check out junkyards to get one.
I've read that in general, the splash guard is a cool thing to have....

Well, then looks like I will have to check the junk yards, maybe will find one for my G8... If no, will see what they have on ebay...Thanks for replying, man!

My buddy has one sitting at my shop for the last 2 years. Maybe he doesn't want it. You in Miami?
