I'm pretty sure those aren't the Z flares. They're too long on the rear. They've got to be custom...

Zzzzzz Flares

Fiberglass Z flares WILL NOT fit the shape of a FB body. I tryed this as far back as 85, and they did NOT fit. If someone made them fit, POST it on here. Plastic ones MIGHT work (MIGHT).(BIG MIGHT).

I've seen some for sale for ~150 if I read correctly, though the company hasn't gotten back to me.

So in short, these are for 240,260,280Z's with the "G nose".

There's a guy selling a full set of those on Ebay right now, and it's over $150 with 8 days left.

Yeah, I have no desire to deal with cp racing ever again, plus the fact that those flares are incredibly overpriced.

You could probably find a used set for around $1000

I have three sets coming to me on Monday (per UPS).

Set one: 15x7 4x114.3 for the SA
Set two: 16x7 4x114.3 for the FB in it's current config.
Set three: 16x8 r 16x7 f 5x114.3 for the FB after T2 front brake swap and 'stang rear. Will probably pimp them on my Toyota truck until then.

I heard through the grapevine that older 240z's, 260z's and 280z's fender flares will fit with no issues. Hopefully somebody can back me up on this.

I hate to do this, but I'm really wondering definitively about those flares. It would really help me out with my current predicament!
