1975 to 1978 parts compatibility to interchange ?

[Killain]

My friend is looking for some headlight access panels, Are the 1978 panels the same as the 1975 parts ? I found a used set from a 1978 280Z 2+2 ????

 

Thank you !

Might be in here somewhere.  Find it and check the part numbers and year ranges.

Hay thank you, It's kinda hard to make out the parts name, I thought it was called Headlight access panel 82, but that is were it stops in description, and I'm not too sure I'm calling it the right part name ?

If you just look at the dates, you'll see that the early 280Z (1975 - May 1976) has a different part number than the late 280Z (after May 1976 - 1978). How much the "Protector-Front Fend" changed I don't know. But if you check the part numbers, they are the same for the "2 seater" and "2+2" models and for the same date span.
