G-nose

Does anyone know where/who sells a g-nose kit for a 280zx? I saw a pic of one awhile back and ideas are flowing pretty good. Here's the pic.....

Sexy ... AND it's a 2+2

That G-nose, combined with the fender flares, aftermarket mirrors, and that wraparound spoiler make for one sexy ride!

I'd bet for the right price, the guys at Arizona Z-car would fab one up ... perhaps with enough orders, they might just build a mold and start marketing! (hint hint )

Skully, that kit is for the older S30 Z only.
The 280ZX G-nose kit for sale is from MPJ Auto in the UK. He'll even ship to the US if you want. I would bet shipping costs for that would be between 1 and 2 thousand dollars. Also, that right hand drive 2+2 is obviously from the UK.

I'm not doing a 'complete' G-Nose kit, but I'm doing something very subtle with the front of mine that is gonna look very good when it's done.

I just finished laying on the first layer of filler to take care of the minor low spots from the welds.

You know that crappy piece of rubber that covers the gap between the bumper and the hood? Mine's gone. And it looks REALLY good without it! The new work totally blends the bumper into the hood.

Pictures will be up in the next couple of days after I get paint on it.

I don't see how shipping something that large from the UK would only cost $150. More like $750-1000. More than the cost of the kit. It'll cost you $150 just to ship the MSA air dam from California to Arizona!
Besides, everyone who emails that company does not get a response.

Maybe we should get someone on this side if the pond to make one. and if I'm reading all these other posts correctly there are a few other zx parts people wouldn't mind seeing.

Btw: I did get a responce once! I dont remember what it said though. I'll go try to find it.
