Mesh-71 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I saw these bumpers on a super clean RHD dime at Canby, did these bumpers ever come on a datsun or is it something he did himself? Any ideas? I like them, and I currently have no bumpers....So do I have to start from scratch? or not :blink: Quote Link to comment

fastdadd Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 yeah i sure they are from a 520....that car is in my top 5 from canby this year Quote Link to comment
72wagun Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah, all of us 521/520 guys wish we could get a set of those, and he has 2 sets on one car! j/k :D Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 They are *not* from any other datsun, including the 520's. You can easily tell by looking at the sides. I spoke with the guy and they were made by cutting down a set of regular 510 bumpers. In person, if you looked very closely, you could see where the two parts were grafted together.

jefe de jefes Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) somebody on the realm was making those. They are fiberglass I believe. Here ya go. http://the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11886 Edited July 23, 2009 by jefe de jefes Quote Link to comment

kiznook Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 They are handmade, and they are not fiberglass. They look good on the front but the rear just didn't look right to me. Would be good for a huge Front Mount Intercooler! Quote Link to comment

Mesh-71 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Damn, well I guess that I will have to see what I can come up with, It sucks that the dime got backed into, it was a sweet ride for sure. Maybe I will find a set of 520 bumpers to see how they look up against it......IDK Quote Link to comment
