chirag1988 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 I'd like to remove the rear strut brace cover to paint it but I want to leave the Z in silver as it is. Is it easy to remove the rear strut brace cover as I've heard people having trouble and damaging the Z when trying to take it off? Quote

chirag1988 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks guys I didn't wanna do another botch job like when I snapped my passenger side switch panel. Funny thing is I've got a spare now but just haven't been arsed to fit it lol. Btw I'm looking at spraying the rear strut orange (same as engine bay) and plastidip the Z in black. Also if I can manage it, the 3 square dimples on either side in black plastidip if it's not too much of a mission! Quote

One thing chirag ~ remember whatever colour you paint the rear strut bar you will more than likely see it reflected in your rear window. Could be distracting in bright orange. Just fyi. I've got a carbon fibre cover on mine so all I see is a silver Z reflected in the rear window which is pretty cool even if I do say so myself. Quote

Dicky Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 I'd like to remove the rear strut brace cover to paint it but I want to leave the Z in silver as it is. Is it easy to remove the rear strut brace cover as I've heard people having trouble and damaging the Z when trying to take it off? I just masked up my Z badge then sprayed. Good finish and no probs!

350zPabs Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Will that rear strut be strong enough to attach the eye bolts for a harness? Quote
