280zx Rear body kit


OZ001

Recommended Posts

what i have considered doing is removing the black bumper, making a mold out of foam to go where the bumper was and then fiberglasing that mold and then screwing it in to replace that black bumper to give it a smooth flow over the rear end. would take a lot of work though and require a little cutting but would look dam nice if it worked. I haven't had the balls or patience to do it yet though, all i did was remove the bumper, leave it like for a month or 2 and then put it back on.

Hey,

 

Have you checked over at Hybridz to see what the guys have been getting at over there? Or even Zdriver.com they have a pretty strong S130 community over there also. What dont you like, are they to plain or to fancy? Would you consider buying one and modifying it to become what you want?

 

These and many more questions after the break, on ACA.

Lol (Sorry had to throw that in)

Got it into my head to shave the bumpers. Started on the front and will do the rear next.

 

1st pic is the front bumper fillets:

2nd pic is front of 280zx with indicators and license plate remounted.

3rd pic is mostly completed LHS bumper fillet.

4th pic is styling direction for 280zx (dodgy paintshop chopping, :-[ ).  Gets rid of a lot of the fussy body lines and angles the rear out over the stock lights.  Changes to the rear end are not small and quite possibly beyond me, but given how well the front seems to be coming along...  ;D

Hey,

 

Just as a warning I have seen alot of negative posting about the showcar bodyparts group on both hybridz and zdriver forums. The general concensus is that they are of poor quality and have long delivery times.

 

Cheers
