Default Z's with Sunline, Aero Jacket, Shine Auto rear spats

Hey guys,

Did some searching and found some threads about the rear spats, however wanted to confirm how many people have a "bracket" on their Rear Spats

I had found Kevr6s post
Sunline rear Aero Spats...pics for those w/ install questions!

And he has the Sunline Spats, which are the original I understand. Seems Sunline is nice enough to provide all screws and brackets if needed. I got Shine Auto in Carbon Fiber (I actually thought these guys were the original lol) and all you get is the part...thats it.

So it "appears" Sunline gives you brackets, the rest dont, so for everyone else who have Shine or Aero Jacket versions...did you make a bracket or only installed with 2 screws and 3M tape? Just trying to determine if I need to do some makeshift bracket or not.

Thanks Z fellows


If u don't know what I'm talking about, looks at Boost Lees

Do you know what the Sunline brackets look like? or where they're used?

NVM just looked at your link. I'm sure you could make your own if you think it really needs it.

How do you like the fit and quality of the Shine Spats?

Yup, its actually in Kev's thread, but see below:




So doesn't look like much, just additional support.

I can grab some stuff from Home Depot and make something similar...my Shine Auto Piece did have a hole pre drilled for a bracket/anchor

I just don't want this thing to blow off lol

Oh, if the hole is pre drilled, then you may as well get some material to make one. Looks like it would be easy to make from the picture.

Post up some pics of yours when you get them installed!

Ha, I beat you to your edit...but I'll leave it for the lazy guys

I test fit it so far, the Shine Auto Piece fits perfectly and the finish was great..one minor imperfection but not really noticable

sweet no?

Do you need brackets for the shine auto rear spats? Or can you just use the 3m tape?

I wish they made a hole rear lip that goes all the way across the rear. Here's what I had on my 350

You really need the bracket they are easy to make just go to home depot get some flat steel 2ft long by 1/2 inch wide drill a hole and bend it in a Z shape (you will see what I mean) take the bolt out that holds the bottom of the bumper corner and that will be your 2ND hole bend it to reach that hole drill another hole in the steel bolt it on your now GTG.
