MiKeL 260 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Ok, today i picked up my very first z a '82 fairlady 2l it is my very first project car and i am very excited to get started as i have allways wanted a z. My plans are to add a front lip and remove all rubber bumpers add a big grill like those in the older z cars. i was just wandering if anyone has ever removed and shaved the bumper to make it look like they were never there.. Any help is much appreciated.. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powershotnt Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Look at z-cars.com they sell front and rear kits that basicly make it look more modern. Smooth fiberglass look that bolts to the exsisting bumper frame work.Congrats on the new project!!!!! Also check out the members project forum thread. Search 280zx and see what incredible things people have done with these cars. I spent 2 days looking at some of the projects. Very creative and talented people on this forum.

luvemfast Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 If I was to do it again, I would shave/remove the rear wiper, with squirter and the antenna. Anyone want to do it? Would look siick! Also would like to put the later series 2 tail lights on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiKeL 260 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Sorry but im more of a fan of luvemfasts design, thats the way ima do it anyway.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonethirty Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Sorry but im more of a fan of luvemfasts design, thats the way ima do it anyway.. Agreed completely. The rear looks very sleek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckolander Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 With all the stupid drivers where I live, I think that rdelats would offer slightly better protection, luvemfast's is sleek and beautiful, but if I get rear ended I want my dollars somewhat protected. To me it just looks like a piece of steel yubing thats been bent to line up with the bumper mounts, possibly welded on, and everything else smoothed out.

FricFrac Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 www.zcarparts.com MSA? Are you talking about body kits or about a filler to shave the rear end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
