I started the install of my illuminated kick plates, I should get the actual plates tomorrow. I removed the old plates today and pulled out the harness from the passenger side.

Use a coat hanger and some duct tape to fish the wire through underneath the console. Untwist the coat hanger, and stick the wire onto the end of it with the tape and gently work it through to the other side. That's about as hard as it gets. I had a helper but I was done in less than an hour.

Oh and make sure you tamp down the cables either with super sticky tape or small brackets so that they dont float around.

Thanks man!

How did the install go? I'm dropping my car off at D&V on Monday night to get the door handles painted. Kinda stoked.

Install went great, I pulled the panels off a day before the kick plates came in, so as soon I got them from UPS today, I threw them in, it was a good install, no hiccups. I wanna see them at night though.

Its a nice addition to the Z.:tup:

The DIY was helped a lot!

Bro, you wanna come over and help me throw in my exhaust? I got the pizza and beer, it'll only take a couple hours. Let me know, send me a PM.

Mr. Badass DIY man can't do it himself? :shakes head: :stirthepot:

ugh stop bickering.

I'm booked this weekend and have zero experience installing exhausts but hey, I can attempt to help if you're doing it later on.

Its an exhaust, it took me and kirk TOGETHER to do it the first time! hmmm, which means, it would take me and SOMEONE ELSE to do it again...:facepalm:

brother, its simple... all you'd be doing is holding it here and there while im unscrewing/ screwing bolts. AND it'd be a good opportunity for you to learn how to install an aftermarket exhaust if you ever plan to upgrade.

I know, I've done the exhaust install on my Z with Steve. Now that I know what I'm doing, I'm pretty confident I could do it on my own. Sure it would be a lot quicker and easier with 2 people, but not something that's impossible to do on your own.
