Anyone going to FF this weekend?? Suppose to have a brand new Ferrari on the show room floor. If the roads aren't crapped out I might just drag the car out for at least one day.

Anyone else gonna brave to the streets in their Z?

Hmmm I think the tax man might have to kiss my azs for a year. With the pre sale of the FI kit coming up I might just jump on it now and worry about the rest later.

Well, spent today tearing down the car for the parts I am going to paint. Removed Strut Brace, Door Handles, Headlights and Engine Cover. Most likely start on Prep Tomorrow and hopefully get something painted.

For me, it was a PITA to take out the door handles. What should have taken but 5-10 mins to remove took like an hour. There is a electronic wire that runs that is for the button that locks/unlocks your car, however, the harness for it is tucked inside the door frame. I have such over sized hands that disconnecting that thing took the whole hour since I can barely get my hands down in there. I was able to get my wife to come out and do the passenger side since she can get her hand down in there more easily. The other way of removing that wire is to unscrew 2 screws behind the door handle to remove that button all together, but the they are on there with loctite so I was stripping the screws long before they would even budge a 1/4 turn.

On the door handle removal thread, some ppl got it out with ease (5 mins), some ppl just gave up all together, but I was determined to get mine color matched.

I took the buttons out. Mine came out fairly easy, but I had to put a death grip on the handle and the screw driver to keep them from rounding off.
Only other problem I had was dropping the bolts inside the door and having to pull the door panel to get them.

Honestly, it's definitely something you can do on your own if you don't want to leave your car at the dealership while they are doing it. Follow the DIY and use a magnetized screw driver and you should be good. Should save ya some money.

Also, fwiw I had the Nissan dealer paint mine. Quoted $120, when I went to pick them up he said the painter was worried the paint wouldn't stick and wouldn't let me pay for them. I tried my damndest, telling them it had been done hundreds of times, but in the end they wouldn't let me pay.
