want to put 240z bumpers on 280z

[lonetreesteve]

I think the 280 looks great with the 240 bumpers! The only thing that I would change are the front turn signals...I think the signals mounted high on the grill look funny with the much smaller 240 bumpers. I wonder how difficult it would be to install a 240 grill and lower valances (with the 240 turnsignals). Has anyone ever done this before? I have attached the pics from the link that Hypertek posted.

I don't think it would be very hard, as a matter of fact, I think it would be a very cool project. The only think I see being a problem is the fact that the 280z's radiator support is larger, and hangs lower than the 240z's.

The main problem I see is that the 280z's front valence hangs so low that the gaping opening looks funny with the small bumpers. A cow catcher-type airdam has a smaller opening than the stock valence, which helps it look much better IMO.

Also I think the "buck-tooth" look of the 280z turn signals can be easily remedied by simply getting them smoked at a local body shop. 3 coats is perfect.

Check my gallery for pics of my smoked lenses.

I was responding to yarb"s post.  Not yours.  He posted for no apparent reason.  Maybe you're on a phone, but it shows in the thread, I quoted his post.

Good luck with BHJ.  Interesting stuff.  Ideally, you'd post in the Vendor's area or the Aftermarket sub-forum.

I think what’s happening is your self promoting your business. I think their are better avenues to take such as a corporate sponsorship supporting this forum.
