Are these still available from Nissan? I found the most current part number in the Nissan FAST system but it's not available. I'm probably going to buy one for $550 from new-datsun-parts.com. Is that a fair price for a brand new 240z bumper?

If your existing bumper is fairly straight, but just has bad chrome, consider getting it rechromed. It'll be slightly cheaper, and a good chrome shop will make it look better than a NOS part. While you are at it, you can have them weld shut the holes for the rubber strips and vertical bumperettes, creating a smooth clean look. Otherwise, you've got to get new rubber, which is nearly impossible to find, and very expensive if you find it. I sent mine off to Les at www.classicdatsun.com and they came back real nice.

$550.00 is "reasonable" if it's an NOS part and not damaged. I also agree with ConchZ.. if yours is in pretty decent shape, and if you have a good facility near you - then the rechromed bumpers can look better than new.

FWIW,
