Come on 82transam, you dont have your fb tribute pics on the ready? :) dont you have two? Wait a sec, you let the nice one out of the garage? Oh my...

Lol, I've been lazy about taking pics lately. Will have to get more. And yes, the 83 S is let out of it's cage every once in a while...

These are NICE. Where do you get them...??

The ones on DreamInRotary's car are ZG Datsun flares (I know because he bought them from me lol). I got them from ZG Fender Flares a few years ago.

The ones on my car are from eBay, and are listed as "JDM/Miata style" flares. They are a "universal" style flare that fits a ton of different cars, from Miata's, to FB's, to even some Subaru's.

The biggest difference between the ZG and "Jdm" flares is that the ZG ones are bigger (both wider, and larger front to back, when viewed from the side) in the rear than the front. This works if you have larger/wider rear wheels/tires, but I don't and it didn't look right to me. The JDM flares are the same front and back, it matched the look I was going for much better :)

Here's my 85 S. Same flares as my 83 (the "JDM/Miata" ebay ones) but painted this time.

We need more pics in here! I'm definitely going with flares...it's a good way to get rid or the spot of rust right above the tire lol.

^That's what finally made me take the plunge into the Flare pool lol. Had some minor rust starting around the quarter panel lips - what better way to fix it than to cut it off haha. I love the look (obviously!)

They are awesome for fitting wide wheels, I never would have been able to fit them without the flares. The issue is when your suspension is too soft and you install the flares too low...I rub now in the rear, gotta fix that by next season.

Yeah I mounted the painted flares lower than my CF ones to give it less wheel gap, but I went too low and they rubbed. Ended up having to do some minor trimming...

I'm trying to avoid that at all costs. Coilovers in the rear should help with movement (since there won't be much on a stiffer setting). Will see what this winter brings though, big plans ahead.

Don't need any words Thomas,lol. Maybe one...AWESOME looking car

Yeah that looks great!

^ Looking great as always. You're the reason I went with the JDM/Miata style flares on mine :)

I want to do livery like that, only a Group C kit with red and black livery...think Darth Maul :burn: :biggrin:

I'm doing 17s and big flares soon, I will post the results...
