Are these original JDM headligt covers? or aftermarket.

I have never seem them in the boxes with writings in English. They normally come in regular brown cardboard boxes with white paper.

Rings look little narrower........

Hard to tell from picture but they are probally after market. Are you going to sell them?

Those look like the covers for a g-nose application. My covers that were on my black Z actually came to a sharp point where it lined up with the hood.

Yes, these are for G-Nose (Goose nose), but I wonder if these are Reproduction ones or Factory items.......

Curious that the box has English labeling. Reproductions of the headlight covers have been around for several years, however I have never seen repros that were not identical to the original. I can't tell from your pictures, but they look original. What about the hardware?

They look identical to the sets that were made for some of the 'Ferrari 250 GTO' look-sorta-alike kits based on 240Zs and 260Zs. Some of the kits were made here in the UK, in Poole, Dorset I seem to remember. Near the boat-building industry.

The printing on the box looks identical to those. They also had a slight ridge in the section of the chrome moulding ( I guess trying to replicate that of the original 250 GTO ) that genuine Nissan covers did not..

They won't fit a genuine Nissan 'Grande' nose......

...these are for G-Nose (Goose nose)....

Ah! Seeds that may grow up to be a fully fledged myth are sown......

Just a couple of days ago I was pedalling furiously on another forum, trying to refute a story that the 'Fairlady Z432' was so-named because it had been conceived in 'Room No.432'.......

Yes. They are. But if they were mis-described if they do not fit JDM G-nose car.....

[=Enigma=]

Well now you went and ruined it Alan. I was all ready to accept the "Goose" nose name and you had to throw in the word "Grande". So now I have to go digging...I don't know which is the name given by the creators of the G-nose but "Goose" sounds more like a nick-name than something someone proud of the design would have assigned to it.

[Mr Camouflage]

That's alot of money to spend on something that wont fit a gnose.
