So I found one that fits pretty flush. You can find it at Lowe's. It is the Hillman 7/8's metal plug.

Shoot me a PM if you want his E-Mail. I do not know if he still makes them or what's the deal. But I do have his E-mail from when I bought mine.

If I gave you his E-mail, it's correct. The same one I used to buy my delete kit. I do believe he stopped making these kits though, but gave the E-mail just in case. I don't know why he stopped, seemed like he was selling enough of them. If I had the time, I would make these. Have all the materials at work, plus a spray booth I can use after hours, just no time right now.

Here are a few pics. This is just temporarily put the plug in until I get my paint so I can spray it down and make it look more professional and then I will use sealant to make sure it stays in place and does not leak water.

Diesel- Looks good from far, but do you have any closer pics of it?

And what product/process are you guys using to seal it from any moisture getting in? I welded a plug onto my last car and it was perminant, but would like to make this reversible incase I ever need to daily my Z for some reason and want the rear wiper back on. Looks so much better without it though!

Hey guys. Take a look at this. I believe it may be the same thing? Has anyone ordered from them before?

http://www.suddenvalleysupply.com/go...20V2%20Kit.htm




Hmmmm. After a little more research it appears that these guys have ripped a couple of people off. Also, there are some complaints about the quality of the product. I went to their website and tried to go through the process of buying the little key hole plug that they sell. I thought I might test them out by making a small purchase first. When I hit the paypal pay now button I got a message that they are currently unable to receive funds.

Here's one more little funny thing. They have a banner link to this forum in their "News" area where they claim that they are working on a group buy for the members here.

For the loss. Guess I'm gonna have to go to body shop to get shaved off. Not a fan of the other plugs that stick out.

Thanks.

Someone's gotta be paying for that site to stay up. Bandwidth ain't free these days. LOL
Hopefully, he'll fix whatever issue he's having and get back on producing these.
