Guest TreeCutter260z Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 How does it fit? I am thinking of one on my late 260? Is it strictly bolt on? Whats the quality of it. Did u order it from MSA? Hoew much? I hate my bumpers. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Scotty, I also got my bumpers on and the car is finally painted!! I have to go back and get the spoiler on Wed. and install it, though. I also received my turbo engine today!! woohoo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Geeze! Everyone trying to make their cars look like mine. Looks like I'm going to have try something else to be more unique Looks good Scotty Anyone used this body kit along with flares? Any ideas on how you could make it look right? I really want to do flares in the back of my `72, but not sure it will look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awd92gsx Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 LOL, I knew there was something I kept meaning to do! Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Treecutter (Matt), In response to your questions... 1) The quality is somewhat high, however, the cutting of the edges of the rear cover is a little flaky on my particular skirt...they are fibreglass, not urethane. 2) They're easy to put on. You just take off your lower valance on the front (and, of course the front and rear bumpers and supports - the front bumper is easy to remove. You will probably cuss some on the rear. You MUST lower the fuel tank. You don't have to completely remove it, I'd recommend you running your car almost completely empty before attempting this unless you have a lift and a tranny jack) Once the bumpers and supports are off, you just drill a couple of holes in the front kit and use the factory bolts to put them in the same spot as the lower valance (you'll see what I mean when you get it, they also include directions). The rear is easier. Just use some sheet metal screws to attach it on the outer ends and some 3M tape to attach it in the middle (or whatever you prefer) You can get them from MSA. They're $189 each for the front and rear. IF your car is lowered as much as mine is, be prepared to learn all new routes. Routes that avoid such hazards as potholes, bumps, speedbumpers However, for the first time I pulled up to a stop light and got a thumbs up from a domestic owner today.

scottyMIz Posted April 30, 2002 Author Share Posted April 30, 2002 looks very nice bill mine will be repainted hopefully soon.Turbo is the only way to go I just need the head light covers now and the body end will be done on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Thanks Scotty, I have headlight covers, but the mounting system is missing a couple of pieces, which I think I can figure out other pieces to use. I was thinking of, since they're scratched and faded anyway, of just painting them black and seeing how it looks (for show only, of course). I'm definitely looking forward to getting the turbo engine installed and running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyMIz Posted April 30, 2002 Author Share Posted April 30, 2002 oh ya it has NO motor in it that's why it looks funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyMIz Posted April 30, 2002 Author Share Posted April 30, 2002 maybe you should just paint them the same color as the car(like in the msa catalog)I think it would look nice for day driving and shows.If everything goes well i'll have mine soon this car is taking alot more money than i thought!But i guess it'll all be worth it in the end.

QWKDTSN Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Bill, i just want to compliment you on your car's new look. it looks tough!! Very clean and nice with those big wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Thanks!! I'm pleased with the way the car looks now. I wish I could get my spoiler back so that I could put it on to complete the kit, however, I can't complain with the way it looks without it. Once I get the interior done and get the engine dropped in and tuned halfway decent that's it. I'm done. No more. I've learned with my DSM's that messing with a car too much takes all of the fun out of it. Start the key up, drive, and have fun. That's the essense of owning a true sports car.

Bill, don't put the rear spoiler. I think it looks cool the way it is. It may look like a ricer with the wing, but then it may not. I still think you should leave it out. Looks mean the way it is.

awd92gsx Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Ron, I've seriously thought about that...but...I already paid $320 for it...hmm...maybe I'll just 3M Tape it on... Just kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 A couple of new pics that I just went and took... Spoiler is painted, but not on...I gotta get the install kit back from the body shop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Yeah, feel free to come by anytime. Hopefully by that time I will have the interior redone (I'm trying to locate a black interior - if you know anybody who has a black interior from a 77 that they're willing to sell lemme know!!) and have the engine installed, tuned, and running. I'm always up for meeting other Z owners!! There's not too many around my neighborhood if you know what I mean! Fortunately, except for the time I'm at work, the car is garaged, and sometimes my wife drops me off at work so it stays in the garage then, too...
