you cant get aftermarker pieces of those parts.. you can either go to the dealer.. but good luck.. most nissan dealers no longer keep parts that are over 15 years old on thier shelves... and the other place you can go is motorsport auto.. but be prepaired to spend a lot for it.. or if your really lucky... you can wait till it shows up on e bay...

I checked all dealer and none of them carry it. MSA can not get it. TooIntenseRestore in Southern CA can order it after market but it goes for $289 a piece which total to $600 for a pair. Damn, this is outrageous. I guess I will have to wait 10 more yrs til the 280ZX become classic and popular like the 240Z

when that happens its going to be even harder to get that rubber molding... sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and fork out that money... i was lucky when i got mine... my locak dealer had a set and i paid 175 for it...

I just called BritishVictoria and they are asking for 289USD a piece. Ouch. I will have to fork out the buck for sure now.
FYI: TooIntenseResto (www.datsunrestore.com) in southern CA is selling for the same price.

TooIntense is a one-man-band rippoff. Everything he sells is still available. He has his sources and if you look long enough or get the right part numbers you too can buy what he buys.
His $59 H4 headlight kits he sells are 100% plastic and I saw them on some import web stie for $9.99 a side! Add in some chepo $8 H4 lights and he's selling a total retail of $28.00 for $59.00 he does the same with light covers and other parts.
If you have a Nissan part number, go to Nissanparts.cc and look them up. They are cheap there... or go to a dealership that cares. Some say parts are NLA, while another dealer will find it for you!
But those rubber weather strips have always been $500-900 a set especially for the t-top cars. Don't forget, if your t-tops leak and you buy new rubber... there is no guarantee they will stop leaking!!! You're wife will really kill you if she has to set in a wet seat after you spent half your paycheck on rubber seals.
