I have a good condition 260z small (early) front bumper but the 2 side receiver rubbers are toast. I wanted to recess the bumper until the sides approach the body but don't touch. Has anyone shortened the gas mounting cylinders (about 2 inches) and done away with the rubber receiver pieces? It looks like the center rubber (flap) will fit right between the headlamp bezels. I believe the rest of the bumper (from the bezel edge to the end of the bumpers) will still clear the body. I think I could modify the little rubber supports that hide in between the bumper for outside support. Has anyone done this modification to the 260 small front bumper ?
