Tx1021 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Had a few quick questions about the MSA Front Airdam Part Number 50-1409 which I am considering putting on my 76 280z. 1. I have seen several posts about people not too happy with the quality of the MSA kits and was wondering if it is a concern as this is the only peice i will be using? 2. Will a body shop have to install this piece or is it simply bolt on? 3. The information on the MSA site says it has "bumper detail" does that mean that it works without the stock front bumper, as mine has been removed? 4. Does anyone have a picture of this part installed on a car? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I have one on my 260 and it fit very well. I had big problems with fit on the rear bumper and side skirts. If these parts could fit as well as the front bumper I would have been a very happy camper. The mounting of this part is simple and easy to align. All you need is a drill and a set of wrenchs to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolane Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Do the lower valance and two end 'valances' (below the turn signals on a 240Z) get reomved with these type of airdams? Mine are a little beat up from a previous owner, and I would love to not have to use them again. Thanks, Joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 To install on my 260z I removed the complete lower valance, bumper and supports. The air dam is supported off of the corner valance bolt holes and a drill screw on fender tire opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 not to hyjack the thread, but would any of you guys that have the 75-78 Z cars still have the lower valance (left, right, and center piece) off their car? I'd like to use it instead of my 240 style valance, with the under bumper blinkers, cause I like the larger opening to help out with my rather large IC I now have. I have a perfect set of 240 pieces I'll trade for the 280 pieces, or buy them from you, but must be strait and no rott.... thank you, and back to the regular scheduled programing....

280Zone Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I have the later lower valance and ends. But I am not sure it will fit a 240Z. I tried to put the 240 stuff on my 280 and ran into more problems than it was worth. I went with the MSA Aero front end, it can use some tweaking but I modified a lot anyway.

Tx1021 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Thanks for all of the replies. This has helped narrow my my choices down. I still cant decide between the MSA and the Kaminari 3 port style. Does the Kaminari utilize the front bumper or does it go without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
