I haven't pulled a 370Z front cover but, going by what I've read on this site and others, it's not a difficult job. Buy a handful of the rivets used to mount the cover - most people break at least one during the job. The FSM (link in my sig) has the procedure for R&Ring the cover (with drawings and other helpful info) and there are several DIYs on this site.
