Front Flare idea
 
Hey, I saw this while looking around at all stuff rotary and really like this type of flare for the front.
Watcha think?

I have been wanting to do something with the front fenders but like the classic look, this has some potential with some tweaking for the "best" gen.

I got those same type(set of 4 from CP Racing, 2 installed on the rear) and haven't installed them on the front because I want a different look. Still on the fence of what to do for the front.

there we go...your the guy i want to talk to GSL...

...hey by any chance are the front and rears flares the same size as one another (same shape and flare size)

Slammed_GSL 08-19-07 10:50 PM

I think the fronts are smaller then the rears, I put the smaller ones on my rear....
Not by much but there is a difference, it was really hard to tell which were the front or the rear and the fit was the same......CP was not clear on marking or any installation instructions, I made it up as I went.
I can measure it and get back to you.

that'd be awesome, thanks GSL.

...Im going to try to get ahold of Manntis, and if he abandoned the flare remake that he said he was going to do, then i might want to get a hold of you so we could possibly work something out...

Im sure the info I need is on another post somewhere, but what is CP racings website? I would like to look into fender flairs like that.

Cp racing went under, and with my money (damn them) thats why a few of us are trying to get them to replicate them.

You guys can put me down for a set if someone does make them. Ive been trying to get a hold of select maz because I really want thier flares, but I have not gotten an email back from them yet. Those z flares look like they might work too. I wonder how much modification we would need to get them on. At $189, it might be worth getting some just to find out.

As far as I know the Datsun flares are really close if you get the ones for the 240's. You have to mod them a little, but not by much. I plan to put a set on my Rx-7 as well.

driftking777 08-20-07 10:00 AM

I personally have not tried the Z or 240 flares, however i've heard they do not fit as well as you would thinkg, it would reuire you to probably cut the flares in half to shorten the length of the wheel arch.
