ZeppoJeff Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I actually hate the tiny spoiler that comes on the zed and I feel it just ruins the flow of the car...well that and the window wiper. Anyways I'm thinking of removing the spoiler and having the holes filled with rubber grommets until the car goes in for a full respray and what not? Anyone done this previously? What size grommets? Any pictures? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMLNJ Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Have you had the window motor whole done? I'm considering getting rid of the wiper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 No I just filled the wiper hole for now. Gonna get all the holes filled at once as there is plenty I wanna get done to the body work. Ie wiper deletes, aerial delete, badge deletes, spoiler delete Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) There is a thread on this, search for rear wiper delete. I done it, really easy, the grommets came in a pack from halfrauds but i cant remember what size I used.

hensh65 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Ahhh just noticed you want to fill the holes from the spoiler. When i took mine off it leaves some mess, i was putting the nismo ontop but had to get the boot resprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I personally think the 350 looks better with a clean ass There are some nice spoilers out there but not many that enhance the look imho. Would like to see a really nice duckbill spoiler though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay M1988 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Mates 350z is just clean on the back, no spoiler. Think i prefer it that way too over this oem spoiler. Not sure which grommets would be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Get it all smoothed properly, wouldn't bother running grommets in the spoiler holes temporarily as it'll look crap. Keeping my spoiler holes as I have one going on.... Wiper delete/smooth and badge hole smooth though. Aerial smooth too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yes that looks good. Deffo the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 How much is this full respray and clean up costing you if you dont mine me asking?

Cal Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 2.5k from a friends body repair shop, new body kit fitting/adjustment and lots of custom bits going on, tricoat paint also. You could get the boot and aerial smoothed done fairly cheaply I'd have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 the car has quite a fair bit of stone chips through it so was thinking of getting the whole car sprayed. but its a do i get a respray or a full blown new colour with new body kit or what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could tell you where every single ding and stone chip is on my car, they drive me mad. Thing is once you go down the road of obsessing over stone chips and marks etc the car might aswell be a show car and locked up in a garage somewhere. I keep telling myself this but I'll still end up getting it painted at some point. Edited April 15, 2015 by nowhereboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Mines going in for a boot respray soon, how easy is it to fill the wiper hole? reckon the painter would just do it for free since hes painting the boot anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Mines going in for a boot respray soon, how easy is it to fill the wiper hole? reckon the painter would just do it for free since hes painting the boot anyways? They would probably just cut a metal disc and weld it into the hole and then grind down the welds to a smooth bit of metal, apply a tiny bit of filler if needed and then paint. Say 3-4 hours work at most (for a professional!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 yeah i just asked the painter and he said the welder isnt in that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 drop it off a day early? When is it being painted? I have a friend who might be able to do it near woking. Then we could cover it with a square of vinyl until it gets painted to ensure it doesn't get rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
