dpuma8 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi everyone, I bought a Xenon air dam for my 280z and while the fit is nice, the middle of the air dam is angled upwards. Do I need to adjust the bolt holes again or does the air dam eventually rest into the correct resting place? Mine looks very similar to this picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05plsrt4 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Mine was the same way. Initial fitment was terrible. Ended up cutting it in many spots and panel bonding it back together once i had it fitting the way i wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Yeah mine points up too and although that bothers me the worst part is the urethane is so flexible that when you get up to speed the center of the air dam distorts and pushes back in.I made a splitter lip for it but its real purpose is to keep the air dam from bending in the wind.

Metro Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Side note: I have a 280z style Xenon airdam from about 2003 or 2004 and it's super flexible. I once parked on a curb and it just rolled up under the car (oops). Recently I purchased a 240z style and it's super stiff compared to the old one. Which is unfortunate because one side is all wonky and was really difficult to get bolted to the headlight bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullbound Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 That's part of the reason I usually end up putting 240z air dams on 280z's (with 240z signals). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai7one Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm pretty sure those air-dams are supposed to bolt to the outside of the buckets, not the inside. Makes a difference. Maybe you can do a search on here, pretty sure it's been discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can do a search on here, pretty sure it's been discussed. They're all supposed to bolt to the back side of the headlight buckets.

socorob Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The reason people think they're supposed to bolt on the outside is the msa moulds are so out of whack it fits over instead of under like they're supposed to. It took a lot to get the msa ones under and they still didn't fit correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
