88dangerdan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Okay, so I've come upon this and a quick Google search (Web & Images) did not show anything. Just curious if anyone else has seen one and / or any information they could share. I'm about 99% sure it was made for the S30 hood. Just by the way it fits Thanks Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Looks a little wider than it should be...like for a Corvair. Seems it would block some of the light from the sealed-beams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88dangerdan Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 I didn't think about it possibly obstructing the headlights. I temporarily put it on this hood for contrast for the pictures. I'll check it out on my car this evening. The bent under part that attaches to the hood is spot on the width and shape of the hood. Then widens once it comes over the top. I appreciate the feedback. I'll report back on the possibility of it obstructing the headlights. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yap, sure looks like a proper Z-Part. Aleutians, those tricky Eskimoes they play tricks with your eyes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88dangerdan Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks again TonyD, doesn't quite go with the look I'm after so to the shelf it goes. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Bug deflector???? Looks more like an aero part to me, it would give some downforce, create some drag in doing so but maybe reduce drag further on by elevating airflow over the bonnet and windscreen. Maybe all that is unintentional but that's what it looks like it would do. As far as the bugs go, where the air goes so do the bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also know to protect the paint from rock chips and other foreign unidentified flying objects. I agree with you though it does look aero inspired. Maybe whoever made the part decided to make it look "racier" since it was going on a sports car. I'm with you Daniel, wouldn't go on my car!
