Remove the centre panel,, once this is done you need to seperate the parts.

There are 4 x small screws securing the top edge, remove and keep safe. Using a hairdryer, you need to heat up the entire edge of the panel, to loosen up the black glue.

Once done, remove the '3oozx'' logo paint, it is raised on the inside, i used a stanley knife and scrapped away the paint to reveal clear plastic.

 

Next i sprayed the inside rear panel chrome to match the rear lights.

 

Now using a 12v El Panel, i got this this from ebay and is availible in all colours, the thickness of paper, and comes with a 12v convertor, it needs to cover the inside of the 300zx logo,

 

I had issues with the previous installation, in that the el panel showed though the panel, so i blacked it out with some metal duct tape.

 

In the rear part of the panel, i needed to get the cables of the el panel into the boot, a 10mm hole with a bit of play let the connector though the panel, this is to pick up the feed later.

Seen your car on Friday Rob, looks like you have done a very good job on the panel. Did it take long for you to do

LOL! cool, where did you see me? it should have taken a bit longer but i got impatient lol, to be fair it was pretty easy, but ide reccomend using the oven not a hairdryer.

EL Panel Red Neon Glow Back Light Board 12V DC Inverter

on ebay company name vitual village based in hong kong £7.50 they do loads of colours and products hope this helps

 

Nice find bud, just make sure that you are able to cut them to suit!! Or do they do rectangular ones that are the right size?

I had these same sills on my Zed when i had her, they are nice, but the invertors have a tendency to burn out if left on for too long (ie; working on the car with the door open!!)

We stole your spot in Tesco when you were leaving, I was in a pug 207 at the time. Don't like going to the supermarket in mine as it seems to attract dents

I sent my camel to look harder and found amazon sell the el panels ,typed in virtual village el panel and there they were £9.99,god that place sells everything gutted they bought my bloody camel to lol.

sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, I cant for the life of me get my panel split in half, not enough heat and it doesn't move and too much it started to melt and hairdryer is *****cks, anyone selling one they have already made? or someone fancy making me one? looking for the outlines of the writing done in red.

no worries, but I actually managed to eventually split it and have put the EL panel in and have just put it back together, do you bother putting the 4 pins back in or not? and which wires do you wire it to anyone got a picture of theirs?
