Search, there was a topic about this not TOO long ago.

Anyway, if I remember right, didn't we decide those were simply fenders off of an old Nissan 280Z or something like that?

CPracing also sells them, but at a horribly exagerated price.

Those flares are Datsun flares. The CP racing flares are bigger, more expensive, and are delivered by a homeless guy who has to walk all the way from Canada to your house, and gets lost 6 or 7 times on the way.

Search for 'em 3times. They are notorious for having super-super-slow shipping and horrible customer service.

They suck donkey dick.

I have top secret fender flares for mine, I have yet to start modifying them, when I do, if they turn out well, I will let you all know exactly what the top secret flares are. All I will say is, they cost me less than $20.

No, if I'm correct his "top secret" fender flares are supposedly for a Z car.

If my memory serves me right, he purchased them off of ebay. I think I remember a post about it a while back.

I'd like to know how much modification would be needed to fit a Z airdam onto a 7. They seem to have a much better selection than we do. I used to have a really nice one on my '73 240, its rubber apron came almost all the way down to the ground. Man I miss that car (died of rust )

Nope, not from a z car, yes, from eBay.
