Guest iskone Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I've always wanted an updated look to the old body style. I think it would be sick if one could put a Vanquish style front end on a Z. Of course it would be much more than just the front end since you'd have to style the whole car, but it would still be NICE. Anybody remember the pic of the 240 with a 350 front end placed on it? I got the pic on my work pc but not at home, if no one else has it I'll post on tuesday when I'm in the office agian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Change the grille shape a bit on that car and you have the perfect '350Z'. As for customising the 240Z, well do what you want of course, its your car. But really if a later look is required why not get a later model, can't see the sense or point in trying to update the look of an early model which has so much going for it as is But if its just the grille then other than the shape it would look good.

Hugh Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 It's amazing that you would post this today.... like we were on the same wavelength or something. I was sitting next to one of these Aston Martins in traffic today... in awe of how beautiful that car is. When I pulled ahead and looked over, I thought "Damn, that grill would look awesome if I could put it on my Z somehow" No kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 that is exactly what im going for on my s130 only not a slick, more in the 80's style.... the dbs alway had that shape ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZROSSA Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I had a couple of magazine articles on the dbv8 and the vanquish that I used a reference when making the mold for my front end. In the end it was kind of tricky to do while still blending in with the existing shape. I will try to put the old photos up again in my gallery.

EZ-E Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 That kit that came on the 180SX with the datsun Z front end, though that looked pretty class, and kind of updated without being out of time with the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
