So it a nutshell, I wanted to replace my truck mirrors with something a little more sportscar like. The mirrors on my '75 280Z really are not truck mirrors, but from the inside look like it. I missed the cool mirror my 240Z had. I shopped all over and finally found some that looked very much like my old black 240Z mirrors, complete with the 'accordian' rubber parts.

I have seen a pic of a '73 240z with a fluted bonnet/hood. I thought that the hoods with such slots were from later model cars (260/280) but the owner says that this is a 'rare factory fluted bonnet'... Is he right? Or has a previous owner dinged the bonnet and replaced it from a later model?
