January 20, 20169 yr comment_484968 Don't know either. But you will sit a bit higher if you don't modify the "metal bracket"? (can't find the name for it) were you attach the seat to the floor. Thats what I've been told.

January 21, 20169 yr comment_485033 I bought the MSA spoiler with the flat portion and the quality is OK. Some of the gel coat needs to be sanded down and blended.. Not bad overall especially when you compare it to their plastic bumpers; horrible. When I was dry fitting it however I noticed that the center notch, where the hatch lock button goes, is off centered. If I do center it, the entire spoiler will be off center by a few mm. Is this "normal" and did yours come out the same?

January 22, 20169 yr Author comment_485121 Great question Pmg, I did not buy mine the PO did, so it appears to fit okay. IF it had any work I cannot tell. I know the corners are all rough and not crisp like I would want. I think I am going to go with the BRE one in hopes the original mold is better. We will see.

I'm with you moelk .......my guess is that Stephen will end up painting it the same color as the car......just my intuition.

January 22, 20169 yr Author comment_485145 Guy, curse you as you may be right. Not sure though. I am going to paint the BRE one to look just like the rear tail like finish surrounds first. If I do not like it, I will have to get it repainted the body color. Only problem with that is I will have to take it into get paint matched, $$$$$. I recall my front valance was right at 500 bucks.

January 22, 20169 yr Author comment_485152 Okay, this is the color combo I am going to try to replicate... With the wing matching the rear tails, I think it looks less 'afterthought-y' OH I have also ordered the euro bumpers. Now if only somebody would make affordable clear head light covers with the stainless trim. Didn't somebody start a thread on that a while ago.

January 22, 20169 yr comment_485161 I like my headlight covers, they fit nice on silver cars. You should start hunting for a set. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/53080-rear-spoiler-for-a-1971-240z/?&page=3#findComment-485161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 22, 20169 yr comment_485164 This is my original euro spec 240z. The rear wing (original mounted on euro spec cars) color matches the taillight surrounding. It's a must in my opinion if you don't do it in body color. Both look good but I like silver cars better if the wing are body color. Sadly I sold the car a couple of months ago.

January 23, 20169 yr comment_485215 This is what mine looked like. Tail panel, spoiler and wheels all the same color. This is not really the true Nissan light panel cover color. I found a color pretty close and repainted all 3 items the same.
