At first I thought it looked amazing but after glanceing again it is a bit over the top...

 

Could anyone reccomend me some websites that stock body kits for the 260z 2+2?

 

EDIT: Where can I get those head light covers with chrome trim as well?

If you are after ZG light covers like those in the pic - you will have to shell out much coin for genuine Nissan ones (I do not know of a replica at all, I had a sheet metal worker look at mine and as the band is not chromed metal but high grade stainless steel to make an exact replica would cost a truck lot to setup the die (as you could not shape this with out a die and a large press) so replica's are out of the question in the same material as the factory units)

 

So with that said when I got from my Japan I was sold the supplier only had 3 sets left, and that was Oct last year. You good luck finding some now.

 

I know your next question how did I get mine from Japan - easy visit a local JapImport/Performance shop they have the purchase contact in Japan :) show them a web page (usually of a supplier you have googled etc) asking for the part you are looking for - the guy I am working with still visit Japan and is a ex Nissan Japan employee so I think helps in my case.

 

So you next question what web site suppier has these listed. Here a few link for you.

http://www.datsun-freeway.com/products/products_s30part.html looks like they have sold out of the stock head light buckets covers (not ZG covers, not sure if they sell them)

http://www.japan-datsun-service.com/S30-1.html They have some listed on their site but don't say if the are in or out of stock :(

http://www.aritaspeed.com/catalogue/aero.html These guys list them but only if you are purchasing a 5 piece G-Nose replica, they are not listed seperately so that will cost you $1000 + or - a bit + shipping

 

Hope this helps and good luck

 

Edit: I have sent an old set of ZG light covers (cracked and missing one of the SS bands) to a member of hybridz.org for him to replicate - he is talking about doing the bands in fibreglass and then just painting them with this new chrome paint - will keep you posted, however again he was quoted a lot even to replicate the covers with out the bands :(

Spot on mate, said what I didn't have the balls to say! This thing is way over the top I reckon.

I have to agree OTT, each to their own - I think he should have stuck to moding a Mopar or the like. However I do like the G-Noses but this one just does not look right with the big lower section.
