I have a quick question and I can’t seem to find anything on the internet. I have a 2003 350z with rear driver side Quarter Panel damage. A guy wants to sell me a rear DS QP with the same color in perfect condition but its from an 06 350z… Will an 06 350z rear driver side QP fit on a 03 350z??

I would suggest calling a salvage yard in your area and ask them. They have cross reference books that will tell them in a second if it will fit up.

I have talked to many salvage yards that do not have 350z in salvage or know anything about what I am asking them. I’ve even tried salvage yards in the next state over and still no luck. The guy that is selling me the part is parting out a whole 350z

The sheet metal looks the same between the 03 and 06 350Z.

Enter 350Z into a search engine and then click on images, and you can compare the rear quarter panels between the 03 and 06.

Is a body shop going to install it? They should know the answer.

You can also use the eBay search feature with body panel and salvage yard sellers. Think of it as a free Hollander Interchange… 🙂  
A quick look shows the 2006 is compatible with the 2003 model.

Regarding interchange manuals, some city libraries often have a Hollander Interchange manual in their reference section. It’s something to consider when info is needed about a body or even a mechanical part.

It looks like the part number is the same for 03-08, but I would just call the Nissan parts department and ask to compare the part numbers of the two years. If they are the same, no problem.
