Anyone know of a good place to get front and rear bumpers for my 76 280Z 2+2??? Vic Brit doesn't sell them. Still waiting for my motor sport cat to get here....

Good lord..... ok then... Can my bumpers be repaired... Couple small dents...

[bigd652]

Can't really tell in that photo but there are a couple small dents in it... Nothing really bad but can it be fixed cheaper then a new one???? And does anyone know where in the world I can get the plastic on either side of the bumper.... ??

Dents don't look like they are that bad that they couldn't be repaired, but, dpending on how they repair them, you might end up having to have the bumpers re-chromed. Which, in the long run will be cheaper than buying new ones.'

As for the ends pieces, I haven't seen them listed for a while...

Try e-mailing Andy Russell at z@datsundude.com

He might know of a supplier, or check with Troy at Too Intense our advertiser on the main page....

Oops, forgot one other supplier, Charlie may have everything you need...

I just got my front and rear 240 bumpers straightened and rechromed for about $600. There's a photo in my gallery ...

Where do you have something like this done?

[bigd652]

Also.... Why would the bumper guards all be out of place.... Can I just put them back where they are supposed to be?

[bigd652]

Here is a pic of one of my bumper guards... at least thats what i think its called...

I got mine straigntened and rechromed by a local shop but they actually sent them elsewhere to be done. It took about 5 weeks because of a backlog and shipping. The actual work is fairly labor intensive - that's where the cost is. I'm sure you can find something similar in your area.

I don't know much about later models and the bumper guards. In fact, I'm planning on just leaving my guards off but getting new rubber strips.
