[Lime Yellow]

Anyone have a front bumper for my 73? This hasn't been easy to find for under $400

Thanks,

I've got a few... but not under 400 euro's...  And if you need a very shiny one a new chroom  .... (copper..nickel..chroom layer) WILL be necessary!  these bumpers are from 240/260z euro style!  I symply Always say.. they are 500 euro and don't need to be sold. Why should a Ferrari bumper be 3000 euro and a datsun bumper 200 euro? there is a same amount of work in these parts.  (Yeah.. i here you say, there are a lot more Datsuns then ferrari's..  oke.. find one in good condition.)

They're on "back order" now but you could call and ask about an ETA.  http://www.futofab.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=131&Itemid=118#a_frontb

I put these on mine and am very happy with them.  He has a sale at Christmas and probably hasn't gotten his stock back up yet?  Good luck.

Z Car Depot just sent out a mailer saying they have them back in stock.

Thanks Guys!

I Just found one and ended up with a great deal on grill and bumper combo from a local on craigslist. I appreciate the inputs.

Is there any difference between the futofab 240Z bumpers and the ones from Z Car Depot?  I sent an inquiry to futofab about their bumpers and am waiting to hear back on their availability.

edit: Futofab says they’ll be available in 4-6 weeks.

Probably the same. Mine from futofab were made in Vietnam, at least that's what the boxes said. They've held up surprisingly well without any rust on the underside in the humid climate down here. I really like mine.

Thanks.  Did you use EuroDat’s brackets with them?

I used the original brackets on the 240, cleaned and painted most likely.?. Eurodat's for the 280.

Thanks Cliff.  When the Futofab bumpers are once again available, I’ll get them and EuroDat’s brackets to mount on my 280Z.

I think you'll be happy with the results.  EuroDat is more than helpful from beginning to end.  5 stars for Chaz, 

High quality guy.
