I'm still wrestling with the idea of taking off the 350Z, but I think that there needs to be a little something something back there to add a little life to the trunk lid.

Oh, and damn Whataguy! I'm only my 9th coat of Zaino. I guess I need more free time to keep up with you.

Default I did it too and more ............

Ok; I did it too. Thanks for the ideas.
I also just order G35 Coupe rear spoiler. I hope it will fit well.

G35 coupe spoiler comes with the LED in center SO ....... I took off my center back light off from my car.

It's hard to see from this dark picture.

I will make a blank to cover it and rewire the center light to the new spoiler light.

What do you think?

I think it looks like crap, but that's just me.....And I believe that once you put a plate over it, it will still look bad. The only way to fix it properly would be to weld the holes closed, and smooth it all out and repaint it whole trunk lid, along with the new spoiler. And I hope that the G35 coupe spoiler looks better on the 350ZR that it does on the G35 Coupe....

Wow, I guess you can do whatever you want to your own car, but I agree with milanista. The back light is one of the unique characteristics of the roadster. Sounds to me like you should've gotten a g35 coupe.

I'm more of a purist however - to each his own.

I can't imagine not catching the Sun's glisten off the outside of the back light everytime I look in the rearview mirror. Besides, it's a good indicator for me that the car's still clean. However, to each his own. Enjoy!

OK; This is the BIG plan I have.

I always want a new paint job ( same color - black) so I will have the bodyshop fill in the two holes in front bumper where the car dealer drilled to install front license plate.

And also fill that space where the conter back light use to be. Not just the three holes but the whole area to smooth it out.


Even better if I were to buy Nav/GPS, I can install antena where the center back light use to be. After that area is filled, of course.
