87 300zx Front End

I need to replace the front end of my 87 300zx, it has a crack right below the right head light and is starting to sag a little in that direction. I haven't found Jack diddly on the internet for a replacement part, does anyone have suggestions?

Welcome to ZDriver!

So... when you say "front end" do you mean the bumper, or frame, or radiator support?

used parts will be your best bet. You're limited to 1987-89 if it the plastic bumper cover what you're after.

sounds like you need the front bumper cover. The black one pictured should do the trick if its in better shape than yours.

Cool Joking?

Not joking. It is brand new, as in, never been on a car. Granted it is a bit weathered looking because it has been outside, unpainted, for about a year. It is distorted looking because none of the supports and stiffeners are in place that give it the proper shape.

It is a "never been on a car", not torn, ready to paint, after market, front bumper cover for an '87-'89 Nissan 300ZX.

Why do you think I might be joking? I'm even throwing in the parking lights for free.

Do you have the headlight washer option? If so, you will have to cut out the square openings for the squiters. Notice the opening in the headlight area. Nissan and a few other sourses sell them new and untouched for around $225. I had a new one installed at the body shop after a recent fender bender. $50.00 is a good deal for a new cover. I am selling this used one for $50 on craigslist.com in Seattle/Tacoma.
