260DET Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Looks good, should save a bit of weight too. And the lights could be removed to fit brake cooling ducts, if you wanted that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOE, I'll get in touch with you on paint sources because I have a few good contacts. LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 It would be nice if you would let us known the quality of the product... Others are on the fence waiting on your report before we order... Mike 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 well so much for being the first one huh? Ive been eying that airdam since they day they put it on the internet. Would definatly like to hear about fit and finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 After fitting the new airdam on my 75 280Z these are my observations: QUALITY. Gel-coat is of of good quality as is the airdam its self. High grade fiberglass and mat but was not impressed with the grill installation. I would rather of had a removable option of the grill and the molding could have been done more cleanly. Driving lights are real cool with a dual lighting system-halo ring light that operates as a driving light or turn signal. FINAL FIT. On the top lip. on the end of both sides,you have to trim the final 4 or 5 inches to fit to the front of the wheel well. The 2 back tabs in the picture on mine needed 3 holes drilled in each for bolt attachment to the car. I removed the mounting bracket on the lights, used 2 brackets for each using their screw holes on the outside of the airdam light holders.

Guest ON3GO Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 you had to remove 4 to 5 inchs off both sides!!! did i read that right? even if you had to remove 5 inchs of anything on that i would be pissed! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 No, I'm not mad because this is the 3rd airdam I've mounted and everyone needed to have some trimming done because after 25 plus years no car is even side to side especially high proformance ones. The 4 to 5 inches doesn't mean into the airdam but trim to fit length wise to the body. This was certainly no surprise to me. Very little work was needed for final fit and I'm happy!!

Synlubes Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks for posting your comments Larry. In your pic I see some areas that look to be "cut away". Are these the areas you are referencing? (edit) never mind, I posted right behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSflyer Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Yeah, yeah, yeah, the air dam looks great. BUT, inquiring minds want to know about the Roadrunner in the background! How about posting up a picture or two?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 320Zeven Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 so when are yah gonna mount it?! Thrillz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 SOON, my paint man has it and I will post a pic. when completed and mounted. One thing I've learned from engine work, body work, and paint shops is don't pass on any of their comp. dates because they never meet them.
