open door, you will see 2 little rubber grommets, pop those out and there are 2 10mm bolts per handle.... but make sure you dont drop the bolt inside the door. how i prevented it was i put some painters tape inside the socket and pressed in with another 10mm bolt til it held it and wouldnt fall, heard that if you drop it you have to take the whole door panel apart to get it

Thanks for the help guys. I picked them up today and while the lack of a painted hat is not appealing they should only be on the car for a month as I decide on a bbk.

Well I think I found my issue with my Z's hesitation during WOT.

I swapped tail lights with Eric (AllStarE4) - I had the LED Nissan tails for the newer models. And I have driven the car since.... not once have I experienced the hesitation at all. As a matter of fact, the damn car is running beast. Im going to try a resistor fix but if that doesn't work - Im offing them.. I need my car to run good...not half a$$.. Its been doing it since I got the LED tails and now its not.. And I have tested everything else first as well because I didn't want to believe that it was my tail lights.

Thing is - Eric isn't experiencing any issues with his car.. guess my car is sensitive.

Eric told me he had your tails on...and if your right then you need to find out why they do it ? .... And what the fix will be...Resistor fix ? or maybe a Flux Capacitor ?

I'm not sure if my current bumper is OEM or not, but if it is, I'll be fighting to get an OEM bumper as well. They already determined the other person was liable for the damages to my car but as of right now, they're paying for an aftermarket one.
