and looks butt ugly to boot! lol I guess I just prefer extenuating on the stock lines of the car...

 

If you like a blunt front end then that's what you should go for. The Aritaspeed nose is not nearly as low as that nose piece you have pictured.
However, having the air dam further out from the front wheel poses clearance issues.

 

Which front spoiler is that car wearing?

 

a very JDM one that's probably only available in JDM-Land and is probably NLA

 

Ehh...that one's too Porsche. At least the 30th Anni Kit kind of looks like a Z31.

 

the plasstic generally isnt a problem but yea the chrome is definitly a problem but theres a way to fix it:


take it off and paint it the body color and call it good, the chrome peice is only hed on by screws and the hard metal underneath is hard to dent so if you have any dents they are small and dont require much body filler and the rest by filling primer.

the pastic is just set on top it isnt attached but it gives you the idea, gonna do the front when its not hotter than **** out afteri get back from washington

 

That's the second pic I've seen like that with the back wheels looking all screwy. Making me think I might wanna make me a setup such that I can adjust my camber, I just flat couldn't stomach that. Mine kinda rides a little high in the rear now, looks like it might have the 4x4 option, and when it gets some real tires, it's going to be even worse.

 

i just realized all of our air dams look like ****


i bet the Japanese s130 owners laugh their asses off at our cars

 

you will think you want that bumper but the stock 280zx looks will grow on you


plus the 30th anv. bumper looks... ricey

and to think i was 50/50 on it and the classic style

 

Heh, it's not like there aren't a plethora of butt ugly jap cars to laugh at, ours are some of the best they've got.

 

The MSA Type II in my opinion is better. Similar to that, but a little less ricey in my opinion.

 

i really like how the stock front bumper looks on the s130. both the 30th aniversary and the type II are flat on top and dont seem to curl up to the hood, leaving a large, un-mistakable gap... the type II would look good to me if it did curve up on the inside of the headlights how the stock bumper does.
the best looking kit ive seen is the aritaspeed, but i cant read japanese so i wouldnt know where to start with purchasing one of those..
however, i've always thought the stock back bumper looks funny, and the type II rear skirt cleans that up nicely.

 

my favorite look is the xenon classic airdam and 82-83 bumpers... you dont like the way 280zx rear fascias look? thats one of my fav things about the zx

 

i just dont like the way the bumper sticks out so far on it. maybe its just that mine isn't attached propperly or something, but when i look at it, it just seems funny. granted its gold compared to the original bumpers on the 280z! the bumpers on the 280z are ugly as anything i've ever seen on a car!

off topic: does anyone else frequently get the google add at the top that says "Ads by Google
Camaro vs. Nissan 350Z
The All New Camaro Outperforms the Nissan 350Z. Compare Them Now.
www. Chevrolet. com/ AllNewCamaro" ?

seems like they are mis-judging thier demographic for this site...

 

Yeah, I get that ad all the time. I also see one that is "Nissan 350Z Blowouts--Nissan 350Z Clearance Event Find the Lowest Nissan 350Z Price--Nissan350Z.carclub.com"

I thought that Camaro to 350Z one was whack too.

Why would you compare a 2009 Camaro to a 2008 350Z?
The only thing the Camaro outperforms on is straight line acceleration but the 370Z beats the Camaro in that and every other category.

With aftermarket springs and sway bars though the Camaro would do a lot better.

Negative camber=cool status :P (also helps the car handle, to an extent) (also lets you tuck really wide/negative offset wheels )

 

..No.

 

No on the cool status?! Damn....

 

It's a good thing I've got a strong stomach... Looks like somebody invented some new drug....
The worst part of it is, where I live is full of weirdo's, and if something like that's going to appear, I'd have expected it to be here...

 

do they make a kit similar to that for the 280zx? i want it. and i also would like to find the place that painted the botom half of the front windowwindshield and see if they can do that to mine... but i'd have them do the whole left half instead of the bottom.

 

I'm pretty sure that entire kit is custom fabbed...
