Guest Aguyandaredhead Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 OK so there has been a lot of talk about changing the airdam, So if I were to be talked into changing it what would be some better choices? I have looked at the ones I can find available on the net and I have to say I am not excited about most of them.. Show me some pictures and short of one off prototypes money is not the issue...

Sparks280zt Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I think the basic flexible xenon looks the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aguyandaredhead Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I had that on my last 240z, looking for something a little different. But I do agree I like it. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aguyandaredhead Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Uhhh, NOT..... But I think it would look great on your car. LOL Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Here's a pic of my Kaminari front air dam with the SS hood. The Kaminari's cost a little more than other front air dams, but they are made well and have very good fit and finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aguyandaredhead Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 So far from what i have seen i am not seeeing anything i like better than the one i had picked out. Not trying to knock anyones parts, just not seeing anything that looks like it belongs on the car. I hope someone finally suggests something that I think looks better so that I will have something to consider. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aguyandaredhead Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Well I guess no one could photoshop the part out of the middle of the bumper so I figured I would byjeffshandshop it.. Here are a few shots after cutting the section out, I have not started glassing it back together yet as I want to take it and put it on the car and have a look but the car is 50min away. Also after changing the placement of the lower part that was left after the cuts (the bottom part moving up) there will need to be some modifications to the sides where they meet the wheel well I am sure. I just need to mock it up and make a few minor cuts and then I will put it back together. I like how it looks so far but it is just sitting there and not on the car, I do think it is going to look much better though. I took the measurements on the factory rear bumper as far as thickness and tried to reproduce it on the front one. So thoughts ??? after-after-after-before Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 should look great once its all blended together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z2NV Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Have you considered the BRE/'Spook' Front Spoiler? It is THE original spoiler for the race 'effect', and I have used them on a few restored Zs that always garnered compliments. Most comment on how they seldom see that 'classic race look'. I've always been partial to them. The Airdam is just so common. It seems as though the strong majority of Z cars have it, like there weren't any options. Personally, I try to find something a little more unique.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrumpetRhapsody Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Dunno if you've already finished and put it on the car, but here's a VERY quick photoshop job. Little preview maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z2NV Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 ndeli55 was right on it. Thanks. That's the one. They are also available with 'ducts'. See the pics of John Morton's original race car. Also Motorsport Auto has a pic in their catalog, possibly online as well. Again, MY preference is mostly because not everyone uses it.....

BillZ260 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I think Jeff is looking for comments on the valance he's modified since it's what he's using. I think it looks just about right. If the photochop by Trumpet is an indicator, I'd say it's right on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
