  1. I too fell in love with this skirt kit. Spoke with the Z-Store who sells it and they sent me install instructions. More on that in a minute. I will be using this kit on my ground up restoration job!! The rear skirt fully covers the rear bumper just like the front does. It has single passenger side exhaust exit, though since it is fiberglass it can be modified for dual exhaust. I am doing that mod on my car as I run true duals out the rear. To properly install this kit all the rubber comes off front and rear stock bumpers. The bumper shocks need to be compressed. Once you take the bumpers off you will find a set screw in the bumper shock...remove screw, compress shock, re-install screw. As well on the front bumper the mounting brackets need to be lowered slightly so when that new gorgeous front skirt is installed the front hood will clear it upon opening of the hood. The side skirts actually fit up along the door jambs a bit and meet the curve of the fender wells for a seamless look. I am using a professional body shop for my restoration work and the install of this kit among other goodies as well as the paint job. I have had my body guys review all install procedures and they have even spoken with the manufacture...they say it will be no problem for fit and finish...but they are professionals. I would never attempt this work myself...I am better at building motors for my cars. The rear of this skirt is very similar to the MSA type 2 body kit. That one shows pictures of the rear. Good luck..mine goes into the shop in February 2011 for all the work...if you have not done yours by then I will post pictures upon the finish of my car, probably sometime late March early April. By the way mine is a 1980 280zx.
  2. I hope I am doing this right...want to know if anyone has insight on fit and finish of 30th anniversary skirt kit for 1980 280zx. Doing ground up resto job on my z and fell in love with this kit.
