It will definitely look better without those big clumsy bumpers. Why not get a bodykit?

note that there are major differences between a 280Z and a 280ZX

I like a 240Z with no front bumper and a simple lower air dam. Fiberglass 240Z style bumper in back is nice for looks rather than no bumper at all.

im gonna sell the zx since my dads fully restoring his 80 GL with all options so my new project is on the 78 280z and im wanting that rolled bumper look with a nice air dam up front....cause the back end pieces from msa look like doo doo theyre big, bulky, and boxy and dont flow right to me
