in my experience, you should just call and see if they have Nissan 350Z. from there dont disclose any more information....if they know you are coming for tail lights they will be jacking the price up for you....

if you walk up to the counter and say you wanna see what you can get....then they dont know what you really want??

just my 2 cents.

hey also, if any of you guys go out to the junk yard, keep an eye out for the two heated seat buttons....

i want those..... i rather pull them from a junk yard car than buy them, becuase i can pull the connector that connects to them and a few inches of the wiring. I plan on putting those switches in another nissan that has those switch mount size holes, so i wont have the wiring.

ya, everytime i call a junk yard and ask if they have a specific car, they tell me "yes - what do you want from it"

i always say, "illl stop buy, see what you got, there are a few little things, nothing specific - wanna see what you have." kinda line...

ive been to junk yards before and they want rediculous prices sometimes...

i guess i could sell you mine? but what my friend and [iare doing are making them....I would take yours - over lay it. so it would be affixed using resin and not with cheap double sided tape.......

if not, find some from the junk yard and i can overlay them like i did with these i found and then you can buy them.
