MSA now has smooth black bumpers for around $250 a piece I think.

Thanks guys! I guess I'll just have to bolt them on and see what I'm looking at as far as modifications go. Just wanted to see what other people have done. After a lot of searching I didn't see many 280's, mostly 240's.

Just looking to see what others have done when installing a rear strut bar on a 280z. I don't like the idea of leaving the seatbelt roller exposed. One of my ideas was to cut notches in the plastic covers so that they fit over the bar and still cover the seatbelt roller. Not sure if I have any other option....

I had the same issue. PO used vise grips as window cranks and stripped the splines. I used some aftermarket cranks and they were ok for a while. But soon the little screws holding them on just weren't doing the trick, so I bought some used regulators in great condition from someone on another forum.

Looking for a nice pair of black leather or vinyl seats. No rips/tears, or at least no major ones. For a 78 280z but I don't really have a preference on the year.

Found one, thanks.

Hey thanks! I guess it depends on how much work it needs. I'm in Lawrence.

Tired of trying to track down shorts in my fuel injection harness. Looking for a known working one.

Remove lower valence. Use C clamps to hold the air dam in place. Make sure everything is lined up straight. Mark where mounting holes will be. Remove air dam, and drill holes. Now bolt air dam in place BEHIND headlight buckets. Not in front. You will also bolt the sides of the air dam to the front/lower portion of the fenders. Basically where the stock valence bolted up. My air dam only allowed one bolt per side where it meets the fenders, but some might have enough lip there to run two bolts per side. ^Agreed. I installed mine myself, and it was not that hard to figure out. I would think a body shop should be able to do it easily.

BTW I love your 510!

Great, thanks! I had already started giving it heat with my wife's hair dryer, and pulling down on the passenger side with some weight. Figured I'd give the hair dryer a try since that's all I had to work with tonight. I clamped near the duct and hung some weight from the clamp while heating the area. It's cold tonight so I just let it sit for a while to cool down with the clamp still attached. Just checked it and I think I got it. It's hard to tell for sure until I can pull it out of the garage tomorrow and take a look in the driveway, but it definitely looks more even with the other side now.
