MSA & Victoria British both have front air dams for the 280zx. I don't think they have one that looks JUST like that, but several that are close.

WOW! That's not like any airdam I've seen produced for the 280ZX. Look how the lower part sits almost flush with the front edge of the bumper. This is as opposed to how the lower part of the airdam is usually sunken way in toward the radiator. I like that airdam much better than anything MSA or VB offers though. It'd be nice if you could buy something like that over here.

Just needs a forward facing tapered flange at the bottom, where the black part is. Transforms the S130's ordinary front

Have you checked out MSA & VB's air dams?

Yeh, they're OK, just like the Jap one better.

Been thinking about making one, the size is a bit intimidating though. Have to find out what structure is usually used to base the first mould on eg blocks of foam, ply over wooden frame?

Seriously is the best monitor I own ... and I've got, let's see ... 12 monitors here? If I could run them all on my computer, I could play FlightSim2000 like it was reality.
