Does anyone know if the wiring is there for installing the illuminated kick plate? Thanks, Oh, 2014 Coupe

I just did this last week on my 2014. It's pretty straightforward, the instructions are fairly good, and there's a pretty good DIY pictorial here on this diet. All you really need is a fairly good panel removal tool. About $10 at Autozone. |

That panel removal tool? I found "door trim removal tool", I see two types. One the end is notched wide then jogs down to a smaller one. And a U shaped end on one. Which is better.
Thanks TxC |

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. Chuck |

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 |

This was super easy, I just did mine the other day and I'm not that great at working on cars.
You simply remove all the trim panels which is easy, takes a slight (literal) amount of force to pull them apart, I didn't break anything. Then you run the wire. I used a coat hanger to assist getting the wire to the drivers side but that was about it. Me (80%) and a friend (20%) tackled it in about hour |
