used a sink plug, sanded it down and had it painted by ZPRESENCE when he painted my wing and lip spoiler. Just got them tonite, better pics tomorrow.

 

the wing is just sitting on the car at this point, not mounted. Stuff didn't arrive til after dark, and I spent about 4 hours getting the adhesive off from the stock wing.

 

beauty,... whats the diameter of the sink plug?

 

What wing did you get?

I'm still looking for a 1 inch plug all I can seem to find is 1 3/4.

 

Yeah what Bat said,

WHAT WING IS THAT?

 

not sure of the size without measuring, probably larger than 1", smaller than 1.75, but it could be 1.75, and wouldn't hurt to be a little smaller. I did round it off with sandpaper and my drill though, to give it a curved top. The wing is Data Systems Illusion.

 

nice job..but im a frequent user of the rear wiper...so mine is staying on...it definately doesnt look THAT bad

 

It looks alot cleaner. GOOD WORK!

 

Looks great!!!

Did you use any sealant between the hatch and plug?

 

looks pretty good...

 

I understand that. The only time I have ever used mine is when I hit the switch on accident.

The plug has a rubber seal, but I use silicone also.

 

Looks good, but you should think about getting it shaved closed. It would look very sharp and clean, but it looks really great now anyway.

 

2003z and anyone I just read your post that the stock spoiler may be 'stuck on' with adhesive? is this true? i'd wanted to get a z without a spoiler but wasnt willing to wait 3 months to order the exact car. i thought that the spoiler was bolted on so i figured i'd live with it.

if it is indeed 'stuck on' with adhesive, can/ how do i remove it? does it damage the paint? does it require a re-paint?

any advice would help! many thanks!

It is bolted, clipped and taped on, and the tape took about 3 hours to strip. I have read that some have damaged the paint, but I didn't, but it does leave 4 holes in the trunk lid.

 

Nice work 2003z!

I've enjoyed my wiperless hatch...

 

Randall P on another board clued me into replacing the sprayer. Get a 7/26" metal cap from home depot (in the screw aisle, in a big bin) and paint it black. then silicone it in place.

 

Yeah I need to do that too...it looks smooth

 

meant 7/16

 

Spoiler looks like a different color than the car in that pic...does it match 100% in real life?
