CaptainJoe87 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey guys, I just got the frame rail and flor pan kit from thezstore.com. when it got here and I looked it over, I took it to the body shop to see if I was seeing it wrong. The guy told me to call and make sure they sent me the right part... The frame rail is 1/4" too short to the floor and 1/2" to narrow compaired to the stock rail... Also, these don't have the bump up for where the seat is. The other thing is that if the existing floors were just to be cut out, these would be installed on an angle sloping towards the front of the car. Motorsport insists they have been selling this kit for 30years and no one else has had this problem. So I ask, has anyone on here ever used this kit? My thing is, if the kit was supposed to be used as a starting point or supposed to be cut and or bent to fit, they should probably tell you that in the product description. If anyone has any advice I'm open to it. I'm in the process of trying to get motorsport to refund everything, including shipping but they are fighting it.

Josh280z Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 That's a really good question, I need to do some more floor pan repair. Let me know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJoe87 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Problem solved! Just got off the phone with Aaron over at motorsport. He talked to the guy that makes the pans for them who said himself that he was unhappy with the design of the pans that they have been selling for 20 years now... Why it took 20 years of not being satisfyed with the design and my phone call for them to get the idea to discontinue the item I will never know. But that's what it is, I'm getting a full refund for the part and all shipping charges. It was quite the hastel but it all got sorted out. So, don't even try to buy these pans, they are horrible. I'm gonna have they guy at the body shop build them from scratch. Getting a way better deal this way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Dude you need to try and hit up someone parting out a ZX and ask them to cut out some rust free floor pans. There are at least 3 emembers on this forum that regularly part out ZX's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJoe87 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Eh, they guy at the body shop said he's done a couple other cars for a friend of his and isn't going to charge me for the materials so I'm probably going to go with that.
