Got my BRE spook/airdam installed! I love how much more aggressive the car look.

Thanks to psdenno and Carl Beck I was able to get it lined up and bolted down.

Now for some quick pics!

Sorry for the crappy quality, Phone camera sucks.

And the cars pretty dirty.

Met an older Z guy at the gas station. He loved my car and the fact that a young guy was rebuilding her. He sold his last year and he has a bunch of parts laying around. Giving me fenders, straight hood, rear window louvers, 14inch center line 4 spoke wheels, and some interior pieces and a set of tail lights in better condition than mine!!!! He is giving me all these parts FOR FREE!!! Love the Z community and I am feeling the love.

Will post pics of my score and when I install all the new stuff on the 240z!

Wow that was a great way to get some parts. Fun too.

Picked up some bullet style mirrors off of a 67 1600 roadster SPL311. Got em for 10 bucks from the original owner of the car. Really nice guy! He was the original owner of the car and said those mirrors came with it when he purchased it!

Installed em on my fenders and they look great IMO! Made my own rubber bottoms for them.

Will post pics of them on the car tomorrow when I get a chance.

Cheers Classic Z!

Anyone know where to get clear headlight covers for the 240z? The only ones I found were $1,000 USD.

I feel like I could get em for cheaper or is that a normal price?

All input and suggestions are REALLY appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Cheers Classic Zers

The Nissan headlight covers usually sell used for $1000.00 or more. NOS - $1400 and up.

The Aftermarket covers, like BRE & BSR used to sell back in the day, and which are I believe still avaliable were around $65.00 the last time I looked.

FWIW,

Ok so they are that much for the oem ones!!!

I found the covers on The Z Store and they are only 70 bucks.

will be ordering these soon and many other parts aswell.

Thanks Carl, you always answer my questions promptly and accurately. I really appreciate it!!!

Some quick pics of my baby!

Showing the installed mirrors, damage to the airdam, and my stitch work. Still looks good in my opinion.

And a quick peek at the dash aswell.

I think it looks pretty good!

Especially considering how bad it was... Forgot to take pics before I started to "fix" it. ... not rich so I worked with what I had. Plan on getting a new dash eventually anyway.

Fender flares are the next on my list. I know I have to cut and its exciting starting this but before hand I was wondering if anybody has any kind of tips or tricks they used to get em lined up right. Any input would be amazing!

Have a good one Classic Zers and thanks in advance.
