Kick Plates

[Mellowyellow]

My '23 Performance came with plastic kick plates. Naturally one of the first things that I thought of was replacing them with the stainless steel lighted ones....until I saw the price. In Canadian dollars it will cost me $500. I have too many other things that I would like to add (wheel mouldings, Heritage bumper and Grill, sway bars, etc,) before I drop $500 on kick plates. In the interim, would a set from a 370 fit? Those are relatively inexpensive and would do for awhile.

That's great, I found it was easier to wire them up to the door courtesy light.

My Z is in storage right now. I'll try to get some pictures asap. Install was a breeze. The connectors are just ahead of the doors in the wheelwells. Total install time for both was 30 minutes. Fit and finish us first rate and the lighted Z adds a touch of class IMHO.
