I have an addiction
...and that addiction is carbon fiber!
So I received in the mail this week some carbon fiber door switch covers courtesy of www.evo-r.net (JDMZ33 on the forum).
He already has a product available for 03-05 Z's but I've been waiting patiently for something for the 06-08 350z. If you haven't
seen any of the EVO-R products, the weave is always spot on as well as the price. I have bought quite a few pieces from him already you can
can check out the results here: https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/342249-some-shots-of-my-interior.html
Installation is fairly simple and takes about 5-10 minutes at most. First off clean your door switch and let it dry, I used 3M adhesive remover and then wiped it down.
You will need a small flat head screw driver and a 10mm wrench with a large extension to remove the passenger door handle. This is necessary in order to get the passenger cf overlay on.
Using the flathead screw driver, gently pry off the brushed metal part of the door handle, I gently pushed on the right side of the handle until i was able to grasp it with my fingers.
Once thats done you will need to use the wrench to remove the 2 bolts that are holding the handle in place. These go in fairly deep so you will need a long extension, I used a 10" because
real men don't use anything less than 10" :P
Once thats done you can work the handle out of the socket gently...
Now apply the overlay applying pressure from the left side to the right side for a good 2minutes. You may need to peel it off and do it again if you don't align it 100%.
No big deal just be careful when taking it off.
once thats done reinsert the bolts into the door handle AND THEN insert the door handle into the door...try to use your fingers to hold the bolts in place.
Tighten them up hand tight...there is no need to go overboard, I didnt even bother using a wrench to remove or screw back in. Reinsert the brushed metal cover.
Driver side is even easier just remember to wipe down the area first.
Done!
If you are interested in buying this as part of the whole dash kit you can purchase this part now and receive a discount when the full dask kit is available. More to come soon!
