You could, but I wouldn't just rip them off, and then you go to the dealership and they tell you, actually those stripes aren't available for purchase seperately, leaving you ****ed.
I would first order the stripes from Nissan and have them safely in hand before even attempting to remove the original ones. I don't believe those stripes would be in stock for very long after the car production has ended as they are purely cosmetic, and I assume they would be at least a couple hundred dollars each? Those stripes are only on the door right? Your safest option honestly could be to try to see if there is a vinyl wrap that exactly or closely matches the door panel paint colour, and just wrap the doors, preserving the originality underneath? Or wrap the whole car and enjoy having a complete different colour for several years? If you are planning on keeping this car long term and hoping it appreciates as like an investment, 20-30 years down the road, factory originality is make or break. I have been to a car auction for classics and the price is PURELY based off of factory originality. Last edited by viiv; 08-04-2021 at 09:43 AM. |

Yes. The people who would be interested in buying the car 10+ years down the road will more than likely want it to be as close to factory condition as possible. No factory stripes = just another Z. YMMV

Yes, and all mods hurt resale/collector value as the car is no longer 'factory'. The only exception to this rule are first party mods (ie. Nissan/Nismo add-on accessories and parts)

Besides the 370z being in it's 137th year if production, the car is absolutely hideous! !
