Do the 280z bumpers help at all with protection in a collision? I'd like to be sure that I'm not compromising the little safety the Z offers.

They're not there for their beauty.  You will be compromising.  But not much.

I don't think anyone buys a classic Z for the safety.  I agree with ZH, they might protect your car from granny in the parking lot from smashing up your rear apron but if you get hit with any real force those bumpers won’t do a darn thing to protect you,   Captain Obvious is probably designing a 10 mph bumper that sticks out 24 inches for his restomod.  Sorry CO....its 3am, I'm working and between flights...couldn’t  help myself ?

    Wow. You guys have been on a roll in my absence. Glad to provide you with so much amusement at my expense!   LOL

    I would usually deflect stuff like this with "Yeah, whatever. My car runs great", but that's not currently the case. So go ahead... Poke your fun. I'll get even someday!   :victorious:
