the tail lights will not fit and none of the body panels bolt on. They are two completely different cars. The engines and transmissions are interchangable. That's pretty much all.

I know Klearz was working on Euro clear tail lights before the "fire." I dunno if he ever made more than 1 or 2 sets... but here is his page:

Could always go custom like some of the people on here have done. Apollo has put some circular taillights on. Someone posted pics of a white Z with 06 Mustang taillights. Just get creative. If you want the 280z taillights then you can make them work but it's going to require some fabrication on your or your body shops part.

Have you seen the later turbo tails?? The lights are a little different, a little cleaner in my view?? I am looking for a set.

I just sold a set of those. I have a set another set if you want em. One has a very small crack so if you want them I'll give them to you for free + shipping. I just shipped off a set of tails and the center turbo panel for $17.00. It would be less than that though since it's just the taillights. Up to you. Otherwise they're getting tossed with the rest of the car.

You guys pick a number between 1 and 5 and put it in your PM's. Whoever is closer to my lucky number gets the taillights. If you guys tie then you each get one

No seriously, first come first serve. Lost VegaZ, if you want them just let me know so I can get them off the car before I have it towed out of here. You dont have to cover the shipping yet or anything but I keep getting bugged to get this car off the property.

My parts car got towed so mine are gone. I agree with SHADY. That's why I sold one set on ebay and the other's never came off the parts car. I like my early taillights better.
