does anyone have a write up on how to install some flares. i feel its pretty straight forward but would like to have a visual of how to before starting it.

also if people can post pics of the fender flares...besides the CPracing ones...******* ********

 

I heard that the nissan 240 or 280Z ones work, doesn anyone know of what does fit..???

or some pics

 

Testing some Z flares for fitment. If anything has to be altered, I'll take photos.

 

awesome, thanks manntis, if anything, even if they do seem to fit well can you take some mock up shots? Would work perfect if some Z or 240 fenders would work as thats obviously down my alley.

when are you going to be able to test fit these?

 

Mid 80's VW Cabrio flares work with very little trimming.

 

i'm interested in flairs to, any pics?

 

As soon as UPS pulls its collective head out of its *** and delivers them.


I discovered that Z cars take the same wheels as GSL-SE rims (when a Z car owner begged me to sell him my stock rims) so the diameters of openings should be similar. It's just a question of contour now, really.

 

a1 cabrolet flares and skirts. the flares were pretty rough when i got them, but my car isint a showcar.

 

manntis--im waiting to see what your conclusion is

 

Those are sweet! Jonny likey!

Are the backs as nice?

 

yeah, I like the exposed-bolt flares better myself, so I thought it worth exploring. If they fit I might see about making 'em in TPO instead of fibreglass.

 

^^What does you sig say?!?! I have been trying to find that out for a while now!

 

the backs fit nicer actually.

 

What did those ones come off of, exactly?

 

Looks like they came off a MK1 Gti

 

read my original post
A1 VW CABRIOLET, both flares and side skirts

 

Any year in particular, or just mid 80's.

I just don't want to get something different that won't work by accident.

 

OMG, maybe an MK1 Rabbit and an MK1 Cabrio and an MK1 Caddy and an MK1 Jetta share the same fender flares. I have the same ones on my Gti. Hell, you could probably get the same ones off of a Scirocco.

 

Was it the type with the full bumpers? Or the metal ones?

^^ uh oh. KIDDIE ****!!!

 

it says "Mazda RX-7"

 

yea unfortuantly i knew about your thread but i was trying to beat the clock to work. so i asked the lazy way.

And Slammed_GSL you good sir have my FB dream body if you had flares on the front. Your car was the reason i originally tried to get the CP racing fender flares. Unfortunately for me they dicked me and stole my money. But your car is the same color im painting my rx7 and the similar flares (if all pans out).

 

A star wars fan I see!

"The Aurek-Besh alphabet appears in the film Return of the Jedi and in a number of Star Wars related publications. It is used in the film to write the language of the Galatic Empire. A version of the alphabet known as Aurebesh appears in The Star Wars Roleplaying Game by West End Games and was created by graphic artist Stephen Crane."
