Hey guys, just wondering if any of you have tried this Fairlady grill from MSA? I've always liked the look of these but never ventured as far as to find an original JDM piece. Much appreciate photos if you've got them. Seen only a few of them in my ventures.

Black one:

Motorsport! Fairlady Style Grill, Satin Black, 70-73 240Z, 74-78 260Z-280Z<font color="990000">*</font> - The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts

It looks like they also have a gunmetal version (too pimp for me):

The impression I got from MSA is that its a new reproduction. So its unlikely that anyone has even had the chance to use that model just yet. It looks high quality to me, though.

Here is a pic of the grill on my car...

Gun metal gray is powder coated and a perfect fit.

There is a thread on hybridz from a guy (David , 1 tuff Z) making these reproductions.

Fairlady Z Mesh Grill - Reproduction Thead - Vendor's Forum - HybridZ

Not sure if they are the ones showing up at MSA.

Yes thats 1tuff Z's grill he made in the Hybrids thread. He produced two series of 10 and is now selling through MSA. I posted in the thread enquiring about the 280Z.

He was buzy with a friends 280Z, but it used the original valences and Im using the PU Air-dam from MSA so Im sort of a crossing between the two.

Tamo3 had he same problem with his 280Z and would have to do some mods to get it to fit. 1 tuff Z very sporting and refund him no problems.

Its still tempting to try. It looks great

Mike, having seen your car in person, I think the gunmetal one would look better on your car than the black, which I feel would be too stark on all that yellow. If you haven't already re-done the tail trim panels, you could do them in the same color as the Fairlady grill. I think that would be a good look on your car.

That looks like the tighter "13 row" mesh grille- where did you get it? My understanding is that the only one currently available is the looser "8 row", really wanting one like yours though!

Takayuki has a nice one for sale too...

New and never mounted. I purchased this a while ago, but decided not to use it. These sell for $299 from MSA. Asking $290US including shipping to anywhere in US mainland or Canada.

*note* these will not fit the 280z and the 260z.
