What is the correct color for the front grill and rear tail light panel? Is there anything over the counter that is close to the original? Three years of restoring and counting. Thanks Keith

My front fenders are toast on the bottom mount points. Im trying to decide If I should get new aftermarket panels or just buy lower fender and repair the original. Does anyone have bad experience with newer aftermarket panels from like black dragon or whoever? I'm told they might not line up right and arent good quality. What is best option from your experience doing either or? Thanks, Joe

Hey I had a fabricator friend come over to help evaluate my floor pans and he saif he'll do it, but for him to do it right I should order actual replacement panels. I hear alot avout Zedd findings floor pans, but I also saw classic 2 current pans on rock auto for 100 bucks a side a significant savings over Zedd findings but not significant enough that I would buy a truly inferior product. My rust goes up the trans tunnel a little ways, will either pan patch this area? And does the Zedd findings pan fit alot better? Has anyone used the classic 2 current pans? Also my front seat supports are shot, but 135 per side for new just seems really high. Are these structural at all …

I would like to install a right side mirror on my 78/280. I am looking at the pair of mirrors from Z Specialties that sell for about $35. Has anyone used these and if so what do you think? Quality and how you think they look on the car. Does the mirror really help that much? The price seems good, maybe too good. Any other suggestions.. Thanks for any info. JB

Just got a 73 Z, low mileage, single owner, very little rust, looks straight from what I could see laying on the ground in the bright sun. Took it home and got it jacked up to remove the old undercoat and hunt down hidden rust and this is what I see Obviously I need to get the straightness checked by a shop but my question for veteran owner / restorers is : have I made a huge mistake?

Anybody have a lead on replacement mirror glass for the factory racing mirrors, (like on my '78 Black Pearl)? I have a hunch there might be something out there that will work, but most suppliers listings don't go back far enough. Thanks.

Or tried any other spray-on film protector with good results? My '76 280Z 2+2 was recently freshly painted and I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep it from getting stone chips along the rocker panels and behind the rear wheels. I orderd some MSA custom splash guards, but they are going back. The quality looks fine, but the fit along the body is way too poor in my opinion. And I do prefer the looks of the Z without the mud flaps. So if anyone has any other products they can suggest for keeping the paint protected, that'd be great. (I know this has been discussed before with not much consensus). Thanks. Gary

I saw a car the other day with plates on the area between the front fender and spoiler. It filled in the indentation where the front bumper mounts to the side. The car did not have a front bumper and I was wondering if I was to go bumperless if there was a place that offers these plates or I will just have to make them myself.
