FlatBlack Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 MSA Type 1, that's a 240Z which has the running lights in the lower valence. I'm assuming you have a 280 if you didn't know that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 240z's and 260z's (1970-1974) had the turn signals in the valances below the bumper. 280zs have them in the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyZ Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 ugh... His username is markrolston@mac.com. I'm curious what clicking on that link will do because it's an email address that's been hyperlinked to a website instead. http://web.mac.com/markrolston/NewSite/Z-car.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks bigger because the orange color is more prominent then the rest of the car, giving the optical illusion of it being bigger than is actually is. And you have to ask yourself, if they are bigger, why would anyone go and try to put an effort in make larger ones made, just to find out that spoiler needs to be modified. Seem counterproductive to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem counterproductive to me. why is any effort put forth on any of the products made for cars? because of customization, individuality, styling, performance... if no effort was invested in making alternatives, then every car would look the same, sound the same, drive the same, be the same...

I gave you a reason why they look larger and a second reason why they wouldn't be custom. Deal with it. Making "custom" turn signals that are maybe a few mm larger seems stupid to me, when the stock ones work and have no fitment issues. If you are going to make turn signals, why would you make them almost the exact same as the stock ones, but have to modify everything else to get them to fit? You can go a totally different design. The amount of effort in going something different is almost the same effort of doing as you imply. When you open the door of fabbing your own parts, designing around stock parts is merely a guideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you open the door of fabbing your own parts, designing around stock parts is merely a guideline. i dont need to continue disputing this, im not trying to argue. to some (myself), time is a neglegable investment when it comes to art/creation. to take something out of the box and install it just because it "fits" sometimes has no fun factor. i am a perfectionist, and i dare to be different; so if having "slightly" larger turn signals that looked exactly like the stock ones required me to put in hours of labor making them fit, it might be worth it if they appreciate the look of the car.
