Body kit, Fiberglass dash and door panels with speaker pods.
 
I have began making a body kit for my ZX and before I paint it I am debating on whether or not to make a mold for reproduction. I don't really know what the demand is for a 280zx body kit. I can't seem to find any and the ones I have found aren't very attractive. So I am going to create my own I have made some digital models of it and I will post them soon. So my question is would people be willing to buy a body kit or a fiberglass dash or door panels. (price would be what the average body kit cost,dash and panels wouldn't be outrageous either)

Welcome to ZDriver! :038:

Have you seen the body kits from MSA (www.thezstore.com) and BDA (www.blackdragonauto.com) ? There's also various other companies selling body kits / parts. As for the fiberglass dash & door panels... I've seen a few 280zx's w/ those & to me they look chunky, and out of place. But I'd like to see your ideas! :D

id like to see this body kit. as for fiberglass door panels, they are garbage, the dash though, if you can get it to mold & clean i think you could have something there.

Yeah welcome to ZDriver man. I would be interested in seeing your ideas. I too, have thought about taking a scrap dash. And making it into a custom look. I haven't got around to it yet. Have other things to do. Anyway post your ideas, and we can go from there. :)

please dont make it a ricey from, jsut something thats a little squared to flow with the rest of the body the front should be low like it has a valance and an opening maybe for brake cooling and for FMIC applications. simple but functional. kinda like the MSA style front but lower and slightly more aggressive i think would be nice.

door panels sound neat to me as well as a dash, the race car could use on, itll prolly be lighter than stock. i dont need the body kit, i already made mine, but post some pix, would be neat to see. its always a good idea to make moulds, just incase your work gets stolen or in a crash, you can do it again.

i would love to see what you came up with!

snwbrderphat540 Jan 27, 2008 06:03 PM

I've been kicking around that idea since I want to mount some 5 1/4" speakers in the doors.

Maybe boxed flares? Never seen anything like that, the rounded S30 type just dont suit. By boxed I mean shaped like the race S130 below.
