No although looking back it's probably something I could've done myself.. I ordered it from a guy who custom makes them

The diagram explains the wiring. The references pertain to the 03 350z service manual.
I added the diode to prevent battery from the added momentary switch from feeding back in to the BCM. Maybe not necessary, but a safety measure
So is this button located next to say the VDC/TCS button?

Makes sense, dont know why nissan didnt add this in. The one near the license plate is hidden for most people...ie passengers trying to get your trunk open and you have to get out to show them.

that gold looks really good in person, was able to see one at work and eyeballed the crap out of it. But I bet that blue looks just as good or even better.

I prefer the blue but you're gonna do gold then this would be my choice.

I have the roll here with me, just having second thoughts on going with a different color. 911 above is wrapped in the same 3m intense blue.


Other color I'm considering is matte dark blue metallic.

Go with the intense blue. That's the exact color I would do for my Z if I ever wrap it.

I think that looks really clean. I would just keep it

But if you're going to choose between the 2, I'd go with intense blue. The gold in the youtube video looks bad. From far away its ok but up close it looks like a cheap candy wrapper, esp if it gets some wear on it and you get a few scratches here and there. That's normally my impression of metallics that aren't shiny and matte.

Are you going to attempt to wrap it yourself?? If so you should post some progress pics. How much was the wrap and what kind is it? I like my black but would like a yellow car.

^^^ Lol...

Yeah John is going to wrap it himself; he just finished mine (https://my350z.com/forum/10419971-post135.html)

+1 vote for the Dark Blue Metallic... Looks sort of satin imo and it looks great

You've had that Intense Blue for a while I feel like if you wanted it you would've used it by now

No, I installed it down by the hood opener. I have installed a switch in the blank by the Vdc switch but it is on/off, not momentary.
