stony Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Spent a few hours just driving the Z around yesterday, right around sunset pulled over to just snap a couple pics. Couple of my favs...sorry for the pic-whoring, i couldnt decide on just 1 or 2 I noticed you have the same headlights i have. I had to cut one of the notches off the backside so i could install them so the top was to the top. yours are clocked a little too much clockwise. Looks good though!!!

LanceVance Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 ryant67, Very sharp looking Z! I'm curious however; what is the purpose of the brackets you've got your strut bar attached to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was something the previous owner did. As best as I can figure, the strut bar would not clear the valve cover if it were bolted on direct, so those brackets raise it up around an inch - the 'Nissan' valve cover I have may be a touch taller than the other styles?

Mace.un Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Getting sick of winter and not driving the z. That's a vinyl wrap on the bumper right? How was it to put on? Are you happy with the result? Is the wrap over the original chrome bumper or the fiberglass ones? I'm interested in doing mine since my chrome isn't in the best shape and I like the look of the fiberglass ones. So if I have a bumper already and can just wrap it, why buy a new one?

They are very light and are not to hard to install on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
