wtb: Door trims 260z 2 seater.

[EVIL_denver]

hi Guys,

 

sorry ive been draining it lately in this wanted section. Anyway, i need a set of door trims for a 260z. Any condition, as long as the backing is useable so i can get either my trimmer to whip up some skins or order from the US. If anyone knows if the backing can be remade let me know. A friend said he might be able to make a fiberglass mould, but mine are far too gone to mould. Are there other options?

 

cheers Adam.

Yeah the backing (at least on a 240z) has a moulded shape that would be hard for a DIYer to replicate. Apparently there are carbon fibre versions available (not sure if they are available for 260z's though) and you could always trim over them, or go for the carbon look and possibly have some rope to replace the handle like an old race car would have.

 

I guess it depends on your build direction. Original or Resto Mod.

 

The only problem with ordering from the US is that they are slightly different for driver vs passenger sides. But it's not a huge deal in my opinion.

its going to be a resto mod.

 

yeah ive seen those carbon ones. I think there might be a thread on here somewhere. Ive got a immac set for a 2+2, i might try and cut and shut them to make a mould in fibre glass. I guess the shape would be the same only 100mm wider somewhere in the middle.

Where did you get the 2+2 trims from a and what colour, they seem hard to get hold of? Lynton

Got them from a 2+2 I parted out. They are red vinyl in good nick and backboards are perfect. They are much easier to find than 2 seaters due to the fact that 2+2 get parted out more often. If your backboards are good but your vinyl skin is buggered, order a set of skins from zcarsource. Last time I checked they were $134 usd both sides.
