Post up your shaved bumpers!

Im contemplating shaving the front and rear bumpers but Im at a stand still with what air dam and such to go with.

People, please post up your shaved bumpers and give a description of what air dams and other mods you have to complete the look.

thanks!!!!

I recall that you were looking for a Z. So, you found one?

[jwerner2]

Yup, 76 280.

Runs great but needs cosmetic work. The interior is killer. Black and saddle leather brown but kinda worn.

I just pulled the bumpers on my 72 240z...and ordered the poly air damn with brake ducks (maybe AFLAC, but I'm not sure) from Zcar source.. 165.00$

I don't think the bumpers are going back on....I like the shaved look.

73, shaved backed and front. New chrome. I loved them.

[jwerner2]

Im talking shaved as in removed.

This is what Im talkig about.

Im looking for a Air Dam with such a proper fit like this. It flows well around the center duct area where it meets the bucket.

Hey MikeMercury that looks really nice! I love the clean bumper look. Here is my brothers old car built in the 80's. A real ticket magnet in California.

...brake ducks (maybe AFLAC,...

Now that is funny...

Does the air dam scream at you when you start the car?

What air dam/kit is that?

I love that car man, that thing is friggin damn nice! I could do without the molded body parts personally but that thing is superb.

I miss the cars built like that one back in the 80's. Kids today dont realize that their was a clean tunner like scene back then. Now its donk this and dub that.

my version of the shaved rear

[Steve Parmley]

Nice madkaw, 17x8 in the rear? @jwerner2- the airdam was a Kaminari, the flares are one off custom and everything was molded into one piece. When it rolled out of the body shop they were taking bets on how soon it would return with a cracked front airdam. 30 yrs later it's still good and that includes 15 yrs. of daily driving and track days too.

[jwerner2]

Amazing story! The molding to the body makes it look so much different from a Kaminari IMO.

Can you fill me in on the wheel specs, like sizes and offset? They look like old Ronal Aeros in those pics but I cant get a good view.

madkaw, thanks for a rear shot. That looks so clean.
