chirag1988 Posted April 18, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
