Is it a 2-seater or four passenger? (2+2)
Most fairlady Z's (280ZX) are 2+2.

Not bad! But the ZXR wing does not fit the 2+2. ok, you can put it on there, but the wing will stick out at the wrong angle due to the different rear hatch on the 2+2 vs the 2-seater.

The whole rear of the car is angled differently than a 2-seater. That is what I mean by the hatch is different. Shims won't make it look right. Look at pictures of the 2-seater one. Then see how your car's rear sticks out more and the whole angle of the rear hatch is different. I have a 2+2 as well. There are a couple other designs that are made to be used on the 2+2 but after looking at them I decided to just get rid of the rear wiper arm and leave the back clean. I see your car didnt' have a rear wiper.

I am really jealous of all these newbies that snag sharp turbo coupes and 2+2s ... especially you, Snook, with your RHD Fairlady. Looks like I'll be making a road trip down to NM when I get my Volvo registered ...

Welcome, welcome, everybody! Always a pleasure to see fresh faces, ideas, etc. It's so good to see the Z community growing everyday! But enough rambling from me ...
