Question: As removal of the door hinge bolts is required for the intallation of the braces, are there any potential issues with door alignment in the process?

The sunlines look nice too, but I would imagine they'd be hard to find in the US.

Yes, be sure the doors are aligned before you start tightening things up.

Well, consider you have to R&I the bumper, side skirts, and fender. I would say 3 .5-4 hours total.

Bumper doesn't need to be removed, you can get to the bolts without removing it, and the side skits, same thing; just loosen some of the bolts holding the side skirts. Installation is actually pretty easy; I just wish the pair I bought after being told they fit the G, actually did fit on the G. For the record, they don't.

Maybe on a G35. On a Z, I see no way of removing the fenders without taking the bumper and side skirts off first.

So how do you know it's properly aligned other than eyeballing it? Is there some way to mark something to ensure it gets back in the right place?

Your door won't shut properly.
