Cool Finished Flares and skirt installation Pics

Well I finally got the time to finish the installation after the bondo, primer, paint and clearcoat process.

I'm pretty happy with the finished product. I'm gonna use spacers on the rear and bring the rear wheels out right to the edge, I hate the look of wheels set too far in from the edge of a fender, I guess that's why I'm not a big fan of most widebody installs is that the fender well isn't filled properly.

I also cut another coil off the Eibach springs as well.'

Any way......watcha think?

Looks sweet, you need to do the front also! More steering angle the more you can space the wheels from the frame.
what kinda flares did you use?

Thanks!
The flares are CPRacing....Big$$$$ and a long wait....4months.
I'm not going to install flares on the front, I'm thinking on cutting and adding a side vent like the JGTC FD front fenders....something like that, still working it out in my head.
I'm still working out how to setup the front for more steering angle, I'm using a R&P right now and I'm trying to figure out how to do a front steer solution.

Excellent finished job, I likey. If I could have found decent flares for the front and back, I might not have gone widebody. Now that it is done and all of the positive feedback I have recieved, I'm happy with mine, except I need spacers to push out the front wheels.

I just put the other 2 matching Epsilons on the front and had to hammer the front fender lip to stop cutting my tires. I'll get a front shot and post it tomorrow. I'm at work now.

CP Racing has been gone for quite a few years, but the flares from a 280Z (I think its a 280) fit nicely, a few people on here have installed them
