Paint resto and a question on passenger-side wiper delete
Met with my pro of choice tonight in the garage, just waiting for the date to hand it over. Scheduling-up a full exterior surface & paint restore service by a guy I trust. Having gauged his work in-person I know I'm in gifted hands. Scratches, swirl marks, small chips etc...all gone (deep paint correction, wet sand to mirror finish and seal - Nogaro Red). De-badging out-back, hate that friggin' emblem, leavin' the subtle 350Z branding tho.
I need to do a complete passenger side wiper delete. Searched, and will keep searching, but...any links to a write-up for that? Tips, tricks, watch-outs for what should be a simple job?
New battery done. Coolant service, brake fluid service and oil change on the docket for April.

This is the second "left front wiper delete" question I've seen in the last month.
I don't understand the function of this nor the "rear wiper delete", "headlight tinting", and "short antenna" (thrown in for good measure, laff...) things...
My theory is "Performance car and performance driver/driving demands performance vision as close to 360 degrees." [ IMO only ]
Aesthetics be dammed. Especially when I don't think I've EVER looked at a Z and said, "Cool, no wipers."

For what its worth, the large Z emblems on the front fenders also have holes and are indented. Figured I would add that.
And I completely understand the eyesore aspect. Thats why I completely shaved and filled every spot on the body from the front bumper, fenders, rear bumper, and rear wiper.

Guys, don't get me wrong, I have no issues with these things, I just don't understand them but I guess maybe I just have bad taste.
But yeah, not dissing at all, just scratching my head and it's not the heartbreak of psoriasis.
Hey, I'm the dork who, when the 350Z emblem started to fall off my car's decklid, my brilliant mind told me to wet sand the area to match the paint. Then when that was a total FAIL, I got me a cheapa$$ Nismo logo and temporarily affixed it over the paint scuff.
The Nismo badge disappeared in a matter of hours, so disgusted I was with my rice mod. The scuff remains. Doy.
If ya can't laugh at yoursel.......

Yeh man...the stubby paired with clear side-markers...I'm tellin' ya' Mic...there's an additional 20-30 HP there... I plan to keep chasing the small, inconsequential stuff, that deck emblem and passenger-side wiper...they gotta go...and the silver door handles clash...ppfffftttt
But yeah, I was serious - for a change - may need to get one now.
Can't find a whole new toy car to play with so I'll follow your lead on the small stuff.
