There are two kinds of G-nose kits. The good ones come in multiple pieces as noted above. There are one-piece noses available sometimes, too. They are harder to get to fit nicely, but can be cheaper.

And let's not forget another $600 or so for the headlight covers when they are available. But, as Brando Rambo said above, it makes the Z look "Flipppppiinn Sweeetttt!!!!"

I have vivid memories of the ZG I saw on display in the Tokyo Ginza in 1971. Within a month I was back in the States and the proud owner of the 240Z I was just working on earlier today. "Flipppppiinn Sweeetttt!!!!" for sure.

Plus you'll need special hood hinges that are NLA but available as an aftermarket item from: www.baddogparts.com

Oh, and to answer the original question of where can one find a g-nose?" -

My garage (1972 240Z-G) and the shed along side my house (that one is from Bob Sharp Racing, it's one piece and I picked it up and am storing it for Blue)
