"400Z"-370Z Parts Interchange

BoilardZ

Just received my "scuff protection" panels today. Yes, they are peel-n-stick. Will post pictures tomorrow after I install them. They cost me $110 delivered, which seems a little steep for what they are. But I think they'll dress up the doors a bit.
In similar news: Does anyone know if the door "step light" (i.e, the red reflector on the inside door card of each car door) is illuminated on the new Z? I'd love it if there were any easy way to illuminate those red lenses on our cars.

I have personally seen the new Z at a car show, and they are not. It is the exact same red reflector as in the 370Z . Now there is an official Nissan accessory sold in Japan that added a blue LED light to the door, in the door jamb near the latch. It's meant to make the door visible for traffic when you open the door into traffic but is also cool looking. The 370Z specific model part number is B6420-3GY0A.

I can't find a photo of the 370Z installed version anymore, I remember seeing a photo of it in a Nissan Japan PDF accessory catalog which no longer seems to be online and luckily I noted down the part number for a possible future purchase. I recall it being about $100 (per door?). It seems Nissan Japan makes a variant of it for most of their models. Here is a version of it installed on a Nissan van, the 370Z version I remember has the same blue LED pattern.

I installed the "scuff protection" panels (a Nissan accessory for the new Z) on my 370Z today. Here's my review:
Pros:

• Fitment is perfect for the 370Z
• Easy to install

Cons:

• The obvious edges of the scuff protection seem to clutter up the door panel's lines.
• Adhesive tape that secures them leaves some small gaps and buckles.
• Price (around $100 ppd) is hard to justify.

I'm still trying to decide whether to leave these on or not.

This looks fine! I think it just takes some getting used to. Leave them for a few weeks and see how you get used to them. They seem fine to me!

Hey can you post the part numbers, or a pic of the receipt?

I just bought two new door panels from Nissan for my 370Z at $1200 each, and I don’t want them scuffed up.
