Ajay Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Where does one source the metal kickplates that go along the lip of the door? The plastic ones are all very well and good but I'm thinking some nice shiny silver-coloured ones would be better. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matty Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Yes, I would love some of these. Wasn't Harve looking inot making these or was it Kris of the billet oil cap fame?? It was one of them! They would be really nice, I might ask at work see what they can do. Matty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 Cool! And if a Z logo could somehow be embossed on them in the middle, so much the better! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blue Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I've got some of these, and they have '300ZX' on them that is luminous when dark. Mine are a bit scratched though. I lloked into replacing them, and found they were about 400 dollars from http://www.courtesyparts.com. If anyone knows of any cheaper ones, please let me know!

Ajay Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 ouch!!! Not sure I need them to illuminate...! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 Yours would be these then. :) Look nice, but if they can get scratched easily, then not really worth $400.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john-boy Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Well, a while back Smithy was looking at doing some of these as a group buy ... but it's kinda died now, I think ... Does anyone know what happened with them? Smithy? I think they were going to be about 150 quid :) I'm definitely still in the market for some! :D CheerZ, JB.

Guest Blue Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 If there's a group buy on for 150 quid, let me know because I'm definately in to replace mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMW1 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Yeah I'd be well up for some too. I also want to get one of these now as the SMW2 has it and it really does look the dogs nads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john-boy Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Well, I would suggest that someone who knows Smithy and wants them gives him a bell, then - perhaps Mac? I know he was up for them before ... As I said, it was going to be a group-buy, but it petered out in the end, 'cos of whatever was going on with at the time with Cybercraft, I assume, and tbh, I've no idea what the current status is:confused: Having said that, I definitely want some!! :):D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Having tried numerous companies about these, i finally did locate a company to do them and yes the price was about £150 and they would be in stainless polished not alloy. Now the problem being is that a, the sill lips over into the carpet area and b, the curve at the back that goes upwards so the cost alone of making up the correct tooling etc was circa £700 :( which divided by the 30 odd people who showed interest was okay, but it meant stumping up the cash first, as i had closed cybercraft down at this time it meant cash out of my pocket to make it work as i now just carry on as "smithy's place" so in short as soon as i've got that cash spare, they'll be done ;) cheers smithy :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john-boy Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Cool, It seems like patience is the order of the day, then! :) Nice to know it's still on the agenda and that you're carrying on, albeit in a different guise. CheerZ, JB. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Just a suggestion but if we all are interested in these (and I am) can we not stump up and save smithy the risk? I am up for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john-boy Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Yep, good idea Jock - Just remains for Smithy to say whether this is viable - but yeah, I am happy to contribute. CheerZ, John. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
