ROFL 400 bucks is a lot to put in a car. Right there to be plucked.

Hey!

I'm only 18 years old... 2 years is a long long time... sorta....

Yeh it was alot of dough.. but that was when I first got my license and I loved music... and they fullfilled my desire.

Next mods? WHo knows... Turbo ZXT motor :devious: ? 5-speed tranny swap? Suspension? Interior? Wheels?

Eh... money money money

Do the laws over there let you change the bumpers? Just my opinion but those huge bumpers don't help the look, and the early chrome ones look better.

But, they are what belongs on the car. If you want the 'early chrome ones' get a car that has them IMO.

Those big crash bumpers looked like they saved the car from a bit more damage. Look at the pictures of the front hit on the 3rd page of this thread. Early bumpers...........that hood corner would have been toast. But that's why you have insurance :classic:

The smaller bumpers are a little hard to come bye in thease parts

atleast in good condition anyway. I would love to find some in deacent shape for my 71. Some that i can afford anywayROFL

Yeh.. i was originally going to replace my big 280Z crash bumpers.. but if you look at some of the pictures... the bumper indeed protected alot of the front end.

With a smaller bumper the hood would have been damaged, as well as the hood hinges, and I guarantee the frame would have been bent, or at least the radiator support.

My bumpers don't bug me... so i'll keep em on. They do work.. that's all I care about

How about fibreglass ones? But they probably wouldn't protect your car much, if you happened to have a bit of girlfriend trouble along the same lines as Proxlamus:classic:

Or you could try eliminating the bumpers altogether!!! But I have to say I cringe whenever I see a z with no bumpers as I can see a small parking shunt at some point in the future turning into major body damage.

Can't deny those bumpers saved you a lot more heartache, Proxlamus.

Hey Bill, I've been buying stuff from VB since 1990 and never had a problem. Much better than MSA lately that's for sure. I ordered a part from MSA back in early April that I still havent gotten. But as always it's buyer beware no matter where you shop.
