Can anyone help identify this bumper. It looks like a 240Z bumper but the license plate bracket is offset to the left (drivers side) between the center and the driverside over-rider position. All the 240 Bumpers I have seen have the bracket centered. JLP

I've been watching the Barrett jackson auction tonight (thurs) on Speed vision. It appears they skipped showing the 72 Z on the show. it was lot #408, and it looks like it hit the block during a commercial break, judging by the other numbers that came up on the air.

I just bought a rear hatch louver set for my 210 from http://www.oldcarandtruckparts.com/ Some of the parts listed could be Z parts - they don't have the app info for all on the list. I thought the attached wheel looked nice. I think he's got a full set. Anyway, charlie was great to deal with and gave me a great price on my part. Michael

Hey i was wondering just out of curiousity has someone made their own set of bumers? I had a idea, maybe somebody could take a set of bumpers and use em as like a press to bend aliminum or stainless steele into new bumpers. Then you would have rust proof bumpers, and matyber they would be cheaper then buying new ones. Has anyone tried this? Or is anyone interestead in trying this? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Bill

Go to Speedtv.com to vote for "Driver if the year" : http://speedtv.com/features/591/ Even though there are only two are real drivers that know how to turn both left AND right.

Can somebody pass on the complaint for me (somebody with contacts there?) Apparently, you have to vote for on of THEIR picks, which is probably not theone you want to vote for. Their criteria for selection seems a little off to. And they don't give y…
