He did have some up after mines, I think everybody bought them or something. I'll ask him about it.

Any do a leak test? Please someone do one and post up results. Leave the hose on it for a min or something : )

Can won't see much rain if any at all in a few weeks and no snow. But I don't need to wash my Z and have a pond in my trunk.

Just got done installing mine, I would definitely recommend some sort of sealant. It is a good fit but in my opinion there is no way it will be water tight. I used some silicon sealant right around the plug before installing it. Looks great!!!!

Also here is the how the sprayer plug fits. Not perfectly flush but looks a lot better then leaving the stock sprayer there.

It's overall a easy mod, the instructions are great. And here are some before and after pics of the plug.

This looks 100% better than the black generic looking plugs especially on PPW cars.

My vote is we get this guy to be in the inventor/vendor section of the forum. Give me some feedback and I will pass it along

Here are some be-4 and after pics:
You can get these kits on Ebay...same car in their auction pictures...I've been checking them out, just wanted to see the results here first. They look good!

Edit: Sorry mis-read. Looks good, glad to see SS if a perfect match, now I can worry less lol. Did you buy it off e-bay or from this dude.

Can you take a few more pics different angles, and at different distances if possible, thanks.

Not a problem.
I contacted him directly through his e-mail. From what I hear the ebay seller and this guy is the same seller. I didn't see any on ebay when I looked about 2 weeks ago. I will go snap some more pictures here in a few.

FYI, they are back up on ebay. If you're color isn't listed, email him. He had a few smb laying around that weren't listed.
