I bet you could get Pintsize interested... she sold me her Z1 set because the same concerns, I believe.
The driver side bowed bad when I first test closed the hood after installing the Z1 hood struts. I adjusted how I installed the washer (below vs above the plastic), and trimmed some plastic, and it sat was much more flush. The passenger side was absolutely flawless fitment first try. The driver side was perplexing to say the least. I got it to where you can feel the difference if you run your finger down the gap on each side of the hood, but its difficult to tell by just looking unless you look real closely at both sides. It's acceptable to me as it's a DD. The car doesn't need to be mint for me to enjoy it I can fully understand your hesitation to encounter anything difficult when working on the car yourself. I was the same way until I bought and installed intakes. I gradually accumulated the necessary tools, did my first oil change (3rd overall on the car) and I was hooked Obviously, as my DD, I can't do too much to it at a time, but I enjoy taking the car apart, even if just to look and do some R&D before I consider a new mod. New adventures can still be nerve-wracking, but it's just so much damn fun

May take you up on that. I'm a little gun-shy of DIY mods after the headlight disaster but this all looks pretty straightforward.
I'll ping Pintsize and see if she's interested.

Bought a modular tow hook license plate bracket from Ptuning today. You can swap out the bracket for a racing tow hook or a camera mount. Nifty little gizmo.

Yeah there's a little adapter thingy that hooks into a ball joint onto the tow bracket thing. Hang on let me find the thread.
PTUNING Adjustable Front License Plate Relocation Kit for 370Z all model. They didn't take great pictures. I'll take some more tomorrow once I get the car washed and detailed tomorrow.

I already have a tow hook, I might have to look and see how much the gopro adapter itself would be, that looks sweet!

The best part is that you don't have to remove the bracket to swap to the tow hook or the camera mount. The tip just unscrews from the main bracket and you pop on the part you want.

Nice! Pretty sweet deal, especially since you won't have to put your plate on your bumper when it's not predrilled. I'm not a fan of that, one good thing about AZ and PA, they're only 1 tag states.
