alainburon Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Does anyone know where to get new factory fenders for a 78 280Z? Maybe a dealer that would carry some old stock or anyone that specializes in locating parts like these. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

alainburon Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks, I have called around local dealers and they claim Nissan does not make these anymore. I'm hoping to come sccross a dealer that is helpful and can tell me if another dealer in the US stocks them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My friend called about them and they said they had several pairs left before the tsunami. A few weeks later he called and was ready to buy which was right after the tsunami and they said they didn't have anymore. Could be a coincidence or maybe a warehouse got destroyed.

alainburon Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I was able to find a pair of new fenders at Lynchburg Nissan in Virginia. It appears they are on backorder from Nissan and some dealers are saying that they are no longer available. The key is to find a dealer that is willing to tell you what other dealer has fenders in stock since they have access to inventory nationwide. Riley at Lynchburg Nissan was very helpful, I got his information from a dealer in California since my local dealers just told me that nobody had any, obviously they did not even check at all. Another option would be ordering from Motorsports Auto. They claim they can still get OEM fenders, the reason I did not go with them was because they were talking about 3 weeks minimum to get them and I need mine as soon as I can get them. Keep in mind that shipping these fenders is not cheap, about $150 each depending on where you are. One thing I don't suggest is ordering aftermarket fenders, they are paper thin and the body lines do not lign up. You are better off using used fenders than aftermarket. Good luck sir.
