370z Illuminated Kick Plates

Educ8r · 01-03-2009, 07:41 PM

Okay I may be the only person who likes them, but they didn't come with my car. Do you think it would be hard to install? I think I want them.

Those look pretty good, I like em!

Usually all the wiring is there even if the optional part isn't (In this case the kick plates) so they shouldn't be too difficult to install.

I saw them in person I really like them. I don't care what people think, I love them. Most of the cars that I saw had them already installed and cost $200 on top of MSRP.

Correct me if I'm wrong:

Doesn't the car come with a CD or DVD, on the engine ,trannie, electrical ,etc...

Educ8r · 01-03-2009, 09:13 PM

You are correct.

If you have the Service Manual, directions/instructions, should be there.

You are not the only one. I went back to the dealership today and saw it, I want them

I'm sorta hoping it doesn't come pre-installed when I get mine, so I can look forward to a group like EVO-R to do something similar or better. White LED illumination is something I'd like. Otherwise, I'd pull it apart and change out the LED. :-D

drisko · 01-03-2009, 09:38 PM

For $200 I think it's a good deal and I definitely plan on getting them.

Nope you don't have to worry about that. It's optional. I do prefer a different color. Bluish/purple would be sweet or changes colors.

I just did mine. Tour & sport package, it was not pre wired. It is very easy and would not pay to have it done if you have a little bit of experience playing around.

Hardest part was disconnecting the wire harness from the box. It is on the passenger side under the dash. The connector was a little bit hard to get off and in a hard to reach place.

I would also recommend you have a cable snake to route the cable from the passenger side over to the driver side. Mine had a about a 1/2" space to slide the wire through. Cable snake made it very easy.

o0javi0o · 01-04-2009, 01:25 AM
