kickplates!
omg I am so dumb...I didn't order kickplates (b/c i didn't kno what they were) and I just read the description on them....
can anyone tell me if that means when my Z comes there will be an ugly black plastic strip where the kickplates are supposed to be? (as opposed to the aluminum kickplates which would cover that up)
...or if i'm not understanding what they are can someone explain please? I'm about to rush there on sunday and see if i can add them in....ahhhh...and also...if my dealer did not mention anything about the "accessories" (i.e. door guards, etc) do u guys think they don't offer them? I was so poorly informed when i placed my order and now i'm mad grrrrrr wish I knew this stuff before

Your dealer should definitely have an info packet on all the available options (and on the back of the last page is what accessories the dealers will be carrying). If you can't get them added to your order sometime late summer your dealer should be getting the Z accessories which will include the kickplates, so don't worry too much if you can't add them to your initial pre-order.
I have no idea what they look like without them cause the only pics I've seen is with them (kind of like the navigation system).
With that being said, I can't wait till the accessories come out cause I'll be getting the front air damn, custom fit car cover, and rear seat-back organizer.

jazmin,
Like LS350Z said, I wouldn't worry about it too much, as I'm sure you'll be able to add them later. I have a pic here of the kickplates and what i think is the standard black strip. It really doesn't look bad...it still has the Z logo in it...

Alright, I can accept that I was wrong... as long as I'm the one that points it out. The regular kickplate *does* have a metal Z in it and the pics above are more than likely the regular kickplate. here is the photo that proved me wrong:

The factory kick plates are black plastic only. The upgraded plate will replace the factory version and include a rectangular metal insert with the "Z" logo. The majority of the plate will still be black plastic, but the contrasting material is eye-catching. Very sharp and a must for all proud owners.

Are you sure the aluminum kick plates accessory will not be full aluminum? In this picture here:

the entire kick plate is aluminum.

Sorry about that (maybe I'm just the stupid one here 
)... I got kind of confused when EngineeringZ said:
I had thought that the kick plate upgrade would be full aluminum, but I just wanted to make sure .

The optional kickplate is black plastic with an aluminum insert. It is not ALL aluminum. If you don't believe me...wait and see. You'll heard it here first.
