I've been trying for so long to find a 1999 J-spec illuminated center rear panel and thanks to Glenn, I finally have two of them. The only color that I had known about was the indiglo blue one. Glenn was able to find a blue one and a red one. I don't know if the red one was OEM from Nissan but I know that the blue one was. Since these were used, there were some scratches and slight imperfections, but using the Meguiars 2 step plastic cleaning/polishing set, I was able to polish out many of the scratches. So.... onto the pictures.

Hmmmm, what's this?
The suspense is building.
Yup, those are J-spec
newspapers. LOL.

center panel.
Both of my rare and
valuable center panels.
The red one lit up
with a 9 volt battery.
The blue one lit up
with a 9 volt battery.
Here's some pictures
of the panel lit up. I think it looks awesome, don't you? There is one more
J-spec item that I want but.... I'll keep it a secret until I find it.
Oh yeah..., so... to
put a damper on my day, many of you know that I just got my car back from the
body shop after being hit by an uninsured motorist before Christmas, well.... I
got rear-ended by someone at a red light. I got hit by an off duty police
officer who was busy on the phone. I just can't believe my freaking luck. Why
does this crap always seem to happen to me? It's minor damage which will require
a repaint. If you look closely, you can see on the left side of the license
plate frame where there is a slight gouge, on the right side of the license
plate frame, there is a chip of paint missing, and my paint is wrinkled. You can
kinda make it out in the last picture. I will wait until after the
Motorsport Z Car Nationals show before I take it into the shop.
The only thing that kept me happy was having the new J-spec rear illuminated center panel. Sheesh. I need to just leave my car in the garage and stare at it I guess.
