nando280zxt Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Well i guess this pertains to the body forum... There's a plastic piece or whatever its made of, on the edge of the t-top. Mine has...or what appears to be heat bubbles. It bothers me because its the only thing that throws of the look of my 280zx that i repainted and did the body work on. Im probably s.o.l. but....where could i find one of these pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueking Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 call around to juskyards or search craigslist and make a deal with a person selling a zx to exchange the single part (offer money? or a discount at O-Reilly's?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Actually, if you're referring to the black strip that runs along the outside edge and is about 2" wide by the length of the T-Top, it's not plastic. It's aluminum. The bubbles are from oxidation. If you use a razor blade (or similar object) you can remove the black paint from it, then use a roloc disk on a air die grinder and remove the corrosion (it'll look like white crap). Smooth out or fill any imperfections (use JB Weld to fill), sand smooth, and repaint them with ordinary Duplicolor gloss black paint. They'll come out looking new. Don't ask me how I know.
