Are you asking about the bumper or the air dam? The bumper in the pic is the stock 240 bumper with no overide bar or bumpersttes, msa ( the site he linked to for the air dam) Lzo sells replica fiberglass and carbon fiber bumpers, they might Lso be able to sell you a used stock metal bumper

A 240z stock bumper would really fit on my 280z? or would i have to do some extra body work to make it fit?

no bodywork needed, you'll have to fab your own mount brackets (70-71) brackets are the lightest and easiest to modify. You will loose the lights in the bumper of course.

Do you know where I would be able to find an aftermarket 240z front bumper? I looked on ebay I saw a "Front Bumper Guard" but iono if that was it. I looked on blackdragon(http://www.blackdragonauto.com/features/z/ZBM1.htm) and it was $500. im wondering if you would know any cheaper supplier, if not then I gotta save up Hahah

you want metal? They are hard to find good used and as you found expensive new, NSA sells fiberglass and cf bumpers for a fraction of metal
