do it yourself!!! its not that hard and you know it will be done right (know from experience). there are many good threads on this forum that will show you exactly how to take apart your dash and doors.

Ive posted this on a couple other websites that Im a member of and wanted to let ep 350z owners know as well . . .
Sry to burst in guys, and if its against some kind of forum rule, Ill delete this on mod request. I am not a shop nor do I work for anybody. Im just a member like everyone else who is getting his car tuned.
I’m just getting the word out to any El Paso members that need a tune that one of the premier tuners in the country, Steve Kan, will be in El Paso tuning a few cars late November. If anyone here would be interested in this, please send me a pm or post up and Ill answer any of your questions to the best of my ability.
Just to let you guys know, I had my FD fully built by Steve and picked her up w/ around 10 miles on the new engine/tranny and drove her back 800 miles to EP w/o a single issue. Absolutely one of the best tuners/builders in the country.
And for those of you who may not know who Steve is, here is a link to his website if any of you want a little more info:www.kantuning.com
Thank you guys for reading.
Here is a copy/paste from the main organizer bringing Steve down.

i have finally gotten the people necessary for Steve Kan to fly in and do some tuning here in El Paso.
The ones already in line to do this are:
1. me- getting my tune finished up
2. jason- 3rd gen rx7
3. mark- 3rd gen rx7
4. jon- possibly subaru? evo? wrx? but he's getting one of them tuned!!
5. Juan- red widebopdy first gen
6. Juan's cousin- i can never remember the guys name. 2nd gen rx7.
7. ??
right now it looks like this will be a two day event. he can do both street and dyno tune.
HE IS NOT A ROTARY ONLY TUNER.
if you want in on this hit me up. you will not be dissappointed. the dude knows what hes doing. he has had a few cars in drag racing, road racing, and even has worked on some bonnevile salt flat cars.
my clutch did not hold up to what he was getting out of my car so i redid my car and now hes gonna be in to finish my car and do some others.

Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Marcus, 2005 Z owner, will be moving to El Paso the first week of March till mid December. I work for General Dynamics, a military contractor, as an instructor. I train soldiers how to operate the Stryker vehicle. Ft Bliss recently bought 300+ Strykers from us, therefore the company is moving me out that way. I currently live in WA state, which is going to be really hard to leave. But, I'll be living in fully furnished corporate housing, rent and utilities paid for by the company, and I'll be paid permissive tdy the whole 9 months I'm in Texas. So its not a bad gig.
I'm just trying to decide whether or not to bring the Z. I have an SUV which is my DD, that I was planning on taking with me, may have the Z shipped down that way. What do you guys think? Hows the crime rate? What about the weather? I know it gets hot, but you don't have anything crazy like golf ball size hail or anything do you?
Looking forward to getting to know you guys and hopefully be able to join you on any Z meets you may have this year.
Here is my Z.

Here is a pic of a Stryker if you've never seen one. Since they are road legal, you may see us driving down the highway from time to time. We'll have "student driver" signs on the front, lol.

Training some Seattle Seahawk players how to drive it. I'm on the top left

If you guys never been to WA state, its really an awesome place to visit!

^ Thanks ksmoore. I only asked about the crime rate because I had a few coworkers tell me that car theft was a little high in that area. By the way, I found out I'll be living at The Bungalows at North Hills. Anyone know if those are nice apartments? From the pics I've seen they look decent. Like I said, rent, utilities, cable/internet is all paid for by my company so I can't really complain.
