280ZX bumperless w/ MSA air dam

Hrmmm.. My first thought upon seeing the first bumperless ZX picture was, "Hey, the stock 280Z chrome bumpers would fill that slot BEAUTIFULLY!!"

 

I realize that they are big and heavy, BUT in my head that would look a LOT better, and more like an original 240Z w/ air dam, if it had a nice, fairly plain chrmoe bumper in the middle of it... it would take some doing, I am sure, to make it ride close enough to the body (as opposed to jutting out like a pier, and needing all those unsourcable black rubber components to "fill" in the space)

 

Plus, a bumper is just safe.. of course, it took a ticket to make me put my bumpers back on my 280, but hey.. :-D

 

I suppose you could try an even earlier bumper, but they were skinnier and might look a little funny.

*holds*head*in*hands*

 

I didnt just get a ticket.

 

I went to JAIL for 24 hours over that. I had two driving with suspended license charges the year before.. susp. lic. because of no insurance, yah yah I know.. but anyhow, two offenses, A and B, two court dates.

 

I went to court date A-1, didnt have insurance yet, or tag or license.. they said "get all this stuff and come back on court date A-2 and the charges get dropped." I got all that taken care of in time for court date B. Charge B gets dropped. I tell them, "I have charge A here.. do I have to go back to court date A-2?" they said no.

 

seven months later, cop catches my lack of a bumper out of the corner of his eye, pulls into the turn lane and waits for traffic to turn left to make a U-turn to get behind me, pull me over.. by the time he actually pulled me, word came over the radio that I had a warrant for failure to appear..

 

He pulled me over and I was in handcuffs within two minutes.

 

I was on my way to my work christmas party, too.
