Thanks

Something like this worked fine for me. $10 or so from Autozone.

Or use the ten digits God gave ya. Those panels are not that hard to pull out.

Thanks, I've seen something similar. It's basically just to pop those fasteners upward, putting the pressure at the right point.
My Roadster came with the illuminated kick plates, and this new Coupe I just got looks bare without them.

It was in the director's cut special limited edition.

Good luck with the install!

Well, I got 'em installed , no big ee. The DIY info from several years ago was very helpful since the instructions that came with it leave a a lot ??? As far as the "nylon trim removal tool" , I made my own from a nylon spatula handle. Just sanded the forward edge down from both sides to a point. I had the illuminated kick plates on my previous Z, and this new one seemed naked without them.
Thanks to all

Good idea on the spatula! I drove to 3 auto parts places looking for one.

Glad the install went smooth too.
