AFAIK they do. There was a hole drilled and a plastic insert put in (on the ZR's at least).

same on the zs, they are quite dear new, £1,45 each for the plastic inserts, and 44p each for the screws +vat. Or in my case free from a 400 in the breakers, just fell into my pocket

I Have just been slated on zscentral for the ad that was put on ebay for 2 kickplates, Because the buyer Didn't read the ad properly, and thought these were genuine xpower kickplates. Even though it states that they have been modified. So for this reason I am NOT doing anymore, I will of course finish the ones that have been ordered and paid for. For those of you who have ordered and paid for them, You should have them with in the next 2 weeks. I'm sorry if anyone else wanted any, But I'm not prepared to give up my own time and effort in this way just to have it implied that I have conned people. This was just something I did to My car to make it a bit different. Each plate takes me about 2 hours to do which has been in the evening before I got to work, when i could be chilling out. I'm very upset by this whole affair, I never have tried to be dishonest, as with this site I have always told anyone that has asked what i did to the plates. Sorry again if you wanted some, But i'm not gunna take S*** like that off anyone.

in my eyes it was a great idea that no-one has picked up on so i say big thumbs up to you for having the decencyto think about offering this original idea to other folks

I wouldn't worry what they say about the kick plates TBH. You clearly stated what they were and IMO it was their fault that they didn't read the ad properly.

I don't know what happened 'across the way'... but it's unfortunate.

You where not slated at www.Zscentral.com .
The buyer just thought they where OEM.
But if you read your ad on Ebay.
It does not really say they are custom made
So thats why some people gets a bit confused.
No harm further.
So i feel sad you wo't make them anymore.

Just read the offending thread and I don't think you should stop because one member got a bit confused. I can see what he means though, perhaps the ebay ad could have been a bit clearer for the benifit of those not on this site or from abroad

Keep at it pal, it's such a unique product you would be mad to stop over one comment

i agree, you should consider making them still, i still think you will generate a lot of interest, really looking forward to getting mine, shame about the confusion but i'm sure everyone can forgive and forget for the sake of continuing encouraging guys like yourself who come up with ideas and then offer it to other people, if we didn't share our ideas then where would we be when modding our pride and joy, my opinion anyway

Right, i feel at bit stupid, have found out that the add on ebay was missing some of the txt that the seller put on about the modifications done to the plates. The reason i thought it was clear is because I had a discussion with the seller, and we both aggreed to make it clear what had been done. Apparently when the add was done only half the txt came out, hence there is no false stop etc. So it wasn't that clear after all. To the person in question I appologise for my rant.
