Definitely getting the kick plates!

Pushing_Tin · 01-05-2009, 02:36 PM

My car came with them!

RCZ · 01-05-2009, 09:05 PM

Saw them, wouldn't mind if they were on the car I get, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them.

Looks sweet. Adds a touch of class I'd say.

Kick plates are a very easy install and I bet the wiring harness is already there. Pull your existing ones off and verify.

Nissan said they would install them for $275

LOL this reminds me of the G35 heated seats fiasco when it first came out. Rumors swirled that all the wiring and such for the heated seats were in all the leather seat models and all you needed was to install the switches and connect it up. It turned out to be false and I'm not saying that's the same thing here with the kick plates, but this reminded me of the million post thread on that topic.

I bet anything the wires are not there?
When I bought my Mazda6 I did not order it with illuminated door sills.
I ordered them later & had dealer install them. Nope no wires & cost much more later!
I was sure this time when I ordered my Z that I'm getting factory sills installed.

I'd love to see a picture of the illuminated Z in a dark surrounding.

$275 including parts?

dude the stock kick plates or whatevers loook like crap. The plastic makes the car look cheaper, these illuminated ones look tight.

Agreed. I can't believe they went with the "plastic"

It looks very cheap. I think at least could have put a silver emblem like the 350Z. The illuminated ones arent bad.

I think they look good, but again I think it depends on the color of the car. Just not sure how an amber light will play out on a silver car, ya know?

DIGItonium · 01-10-2009, 02:06 AM

I dunno... when pre-ordering the 350Z, there was the option of aluminum kick plates. We didn't really have a picture of the production product, so we went by the concept. IIRC, it was all aluminum in its glory. Well, we later ended up with flat aluminum with double stick adhesive to plastic.

The Z I looked at today didn't have the illuminated kick plates, so the regular one looked fine to me. It scuffs pretty easily... I had an OCD attack and started wiping the muddy scuff marks off the kick plate, and the sales guy was

Anyhow, it appears the Z I may end up ordering will come with these fancy kick plates and other accessories... knowing me, I already plan to change the illumination to white.

Which package did you get? Where you able to negotiate for the prices or did the dealer didn't budge? I'm really really looking into getting a 370.
