Brandy Posted November 24, 2004 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2004 Hi. Instead of replacing an aftermarket airdam that PepBoys mangled and won't make good on, I'm thinking about replacing the airdam with a close-to-original front valence (three pieces). The better the condition is preferred, and metal over fiberglass. Anyone have the valences when replacing them with an airdam? Thanks.Brandy Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/14109-front-valence-for-70-240z/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun_in_my_z Posted November 24, 2004 Share #2 Posted November 24, 2004 I have one from a 74. I believe thay are the same. Is just a lil rusty but bt bad. Has what looks like some rock marks on it but i think its fixable. Let me know if you want it.

If you want the early Z spoiler look you might consider buying a early "spook" design spoiler which attaches to the original 3 piece valence. Example would be the early BRE 240Z cars.JLPgrunt0311, if Brandy doesn't want these LMK I might pick them up for extras.

26th-Z Posted December 23, 2004 Share #5 Posted December 23, 2004 Brandy,No they are NOT all the same. Depending on your chassis (early series one or later series one) there are subtle differences in the mounting bracket distances and you might have to use a shim. Most anything past '72 won't fit the brackets at all. For the connoisseur, the early center valances have a larger return lip on the top. The lip is about 1/2" rather than the shorter 1/4" lip for later cars. The price mentioned is about right for decent pieces.

That the great thing about this site. JLP Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/14109-front-valence-for-70-240z/#findComment-106020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
