370z Illuminated Kick Plates

tvfreakazoid · 01-10-2009, 04:16 PM

Is there a way to change the color of the kick plates? I would prefer a blue colored one over the orange.

Im pretty sure you can change the color of the LED bulb. I think it's orange to match the dash/speedometer color. This will def be a personal DIY mod. Hyper white wouldn't look too bad IMO.

Yea i didn't think about that. I'm not a fan of the orange. I wonder if it's easy to change led bulb.

Even though I'd strip the car eventually, I wouldn't mind getting these for $150. It might even help your idiot passanger realize s/he shouldn't bump his shoes while getting in the car.

Didn't get the kickplates right off but I may convert later on down the road.

Rip off. Tell them $210 out the door or nothing at all!

Buy them yourself. Install is going to be easy as hell.

I was thinking about going to the sales manager and asking him if I could get them installed for FREE if I bought them.

My car came in, and as I was told already, it didn't have the Kickplates on it, but I priced them in the final price (paid invoice) for them. They installed them in 5 minutes, so everything is there to do (wiring harness, etc). The black plastic ones have 4 posts holding them in, and they popped right out - very easy install. I also noticed you can get the kickplates on ebay for cheap (I think I saw $168 plus ship). Anyway, they look cool. Now unfortunately I wasn't able to look at the kickplates early enough to see how hard it was to change the bulb. I do know this, with the illuminated versions, there are only 3 posts, so they additionally have 2 pieces of sticky tape - so if you do take those off, be prepared to add some 2 sided tape.

Interesting, Nissan told me yesterday that it was a 3 hour job because they had to run the wires, and remove panels and blah blah blah. The idiots aren't demolishing my car so I said forget it.
