After careful thought, I have decided I don't want a g-nose for my Z. I really like the MSA Type II body kit. And I feel in my opinion, the g-nose is not the look I want. Just wanted to add that. Thanks.

These are not modern cars and the front piece here is just a replica of a vintage piece. I think its a good look (makes the car super long) and fits the era and design style of the 280ZX

^^^ Not cool. 
He hasn't been online here since Sept. I suggest contacting him on FB as he is still doing business there: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Z-For...01713726546117

I shipped it out as stated to his "landlord" via Greyhound shipping as I stated I would. He left me his landloard's name and # and that's who I put on the claim to pick it up from Greyhound. If he doesn't pick it up after a certain time frame, I think they may send it to their warehouse or toss it.

i like the look can you make it out of different material (carbon fiber perhaps) CF is my crack and been trying to get some since Nismo Fiesta..
some guy had a 240z made of complete carbon fiber and roll cage. his hood front airdam, fenders, and light buckets all one piece.
i had this idea when dropping my turbo with out removing the manifolds.. but got beat to it lol

After a lil bit of a delay to test fit the original, I got a local friend to let me take apart his front end and test up the original g-nose on his 280zx since his was in a wreck and needs a new front end anyway...
Overall, I'm very happy with the fitment, quite surprised actually. Going to make a few minor adjustments and the mold will be started this week and should be good to go in a week or 2.
Now about the headlight covers, I've gone over a few details with the shop and he's going to price out materials and time to form them etc. Then we'll go over the shape and etc if it's not ridiculously high to do something like this.
Here's some rough pictures of the test fitment...

After seeing the pictures above. I am having second thoughts on the g nose. That Z looks pretty sick with it installed. But for now, I have other priorities, and this will have to wait a while. Just to note, I am interested again. Sorry to be a yo yo. lol

looks good, but the olny thing is that it looks waaaaaay incomplete on a z by itself... like a civic with a massive aluminum wing, cept its on the front and under the car...
looks like the rear of the car is gunna lift from the size of the front bumper... (skirts and rear would probbly solve it but i duno... just looks goofy without that)
when life stops sucking and i get the zed sorted, ill take one though
