I love when I see 350Z's that have smooth lines. I think it makes our car more sexy and shophisticated. So I knew I had to take of the rear wiper to achieve the ongoing look that I want for the Z. Pictures were taken with a 7 year old camera so excuse the quality.

On a difficulty scale of 10, this mod is rated a 1 by me. Could have taken me less then 30 minutes if I didn't have to chat with a neighbour.

I knew I wanted to do this mod so I madee sure I got the body shop to paint a facaut stopper when they were painting my lip. I suggest others remember to do this if they ever get anything painted. This way if you ever decide to do this mod, you have a painted stopper already done.

And yes, I know I need new rims

You can use a $0.57 smooth plastic stopper from any auto store and paint it with Nissan touch-up. Five minute project that is well worth it.

Looks sweet, can someone give me the part number or the smallest piece size that will fit to cover that hole?

I dont know what to ask the guys at Lowes/Home Depot...

Let me know and thanks!

Thanks for the comments, guys!

I went to home depot, went to the plumping section, and asked for a faucet stopper. And lucky for you, I was neurotic enough to save the wrapper. It's from the company "LDR", it's labelled as "Faucet hole cover".

There is a couple of serial numbers:

The one under the bar code is: 0 19442 12522 6
The other one is: 501 B6415WT

Good luck!

You can also use a bolt cover off of the front plastic radiator shield. Open the hood, there are 2 one on each side, pop it off and clip the tabs, paint to match. My car is black so I got to skip the painting. Takes about 30-45 minutes total minutes.

Looks good, Welcome to the club! Now smear some Rain-X on there and you'll never miss the wiper.

Nicely done.

Is there any other way w/o that cover hole?

Yes, see post #7. I had to trim the tabs down a little on the back but it snapped right in. It's a little lower profile than the sink cover and if your car is black you might not even have to paint it. I am having mine painted silverstone and will post some pics when I get it back.

The only other option is have a body shop fill it in and repaint the hatch which will be $$$.

Just a tip ! you guys should have sanded down the sides before paint.

Very nice I like that look...I love the smaller antenna though...I have the stock one on mine and wanna get a new one...I bought my Z and it had XM radio in it and i can't get local stations worth **** so I might take the car in and get a smaller antenna and see if they can fix the damn wiring!!

i think id rather have the wiper then that nub. only way i would go wiperless if i had it filled in by a body shop so its completely stealth.

So is there any type of "faucet stopper" that is flush...aka isn't "above" the hatch but is flush in height with the hatch?

Looking to do this like tomorrow.
