Get this! you have to block sand the area that is causing the hood to not open.. Here`s how to do this : open the hood to where the hood hits, now keep the hood right at that point and trace a line where the hood is not clearing the bumper.then take a block sander with 60grit sand paper and start working the area down, note not to over sand this area,you don`t have to sand all the way to the line you have drawn.sand a little all the way across ,and check to see how you are pogressing by opening the hood often."DON`T OVER SAND" I had the same problem .Icalled MSA and that how they say they did it on their project car..I said I was dissappointed that this had to be done to fit, needless to say after I did this it did work and it did look ok, but i was so pissed that I took it back off and bought a new fr.spoiler off JCR ,I have to use the orginal bumper but the spoiler fits perfect and looks much better than the MSA fr. bumper cover.. I have a love / hate relationship with MSA , Love you can get alot for your Z,but I think the rip you with cost and they often send the wrong items.. maybe it just happens to me, Well good luck...........

 

Check out icice9's ZX, he has the MSA kit and is painted too. It's an awesome look.

heres a pic of my car with the MSA aero II kit... just took it this weekend... it was a nice day so i thought id put my painted headlight covers on..

 

lol thanks for all the complamets guys.. soo um what kind of computer and how much... whatcha got in it? lol

 

Ice, do you have a kill switch on that car? Yes, it looks very clean and nice. The wheels totally changed the personality of it.

I've also got the problem with the bumper. Had to cut away a sliver off the edge of the bumper. I figured sanding would take too long. Still had to sand to smooth out the edges.

 

the car doesnt have a kill swith.. but my clifford alarm has an ignition kill on it.. also you cant start my car with the ignition switch.. i rigged up a special way to start my car..

krovisser: man that dont sound too bad of a deal for your computer but i dont have the cash for it.. how much just for the CPU??? i already have a klipsch surround system and huge monitor...

 

oh by the way.. i wanna show you guys this really dope kit i like... i want the airdam but maybe not as rounded on the sides.. tell me what you think.....

 

im not too thrilled bout the rounded edges myself but i do like its style... i think if it were a lil more sharp on the edges and less bubbly on the sides.. it would look a lot better.. i do like the openings...

 

I'd have to say no to that kit. Looks awful. I've seen that picture before. Oh, and I also prefer the 2-seater 280zx by far. I hardly see any 2+2 models around that are in good shape.

My 280zx is a 2+2. I've got a baby now, so if I didnt' have the 2+2 I might be forced to sell the Z and get a 510 or something slow like that.

 

how much is the msa kit that you have anyways....i ordered a catalogue but i think they saw the "CANADA" on there and said screw this guy....:P
if its reasonable id love to get one

 

when i first got mine it was a lil under $500 US dolars but now its a lil over $500...

 

hmm i might consider then

 

well the kit is 539 without the wing plus 215 for shipping
total
1100 canadian....most likly ordering it
