fender flares?

I'm looking for a set of fender flares for my 84se. Anyone know where I can get a set? I'm not looking for something as wild as on the mariah kits, just something discreet that I can rivet on.... kinda like the datsun 240z style

I can't remember who, but someone on here used fender flares off of an old Volkswagen (iirc) and it looked really good.

I couldn't find any prices on selectmaz. I like the fenders on the blue and red car. I wonder what tire size they are running. Anyone have any of these on their own cars?

I can get the same flares that Selectmaz has. Can most likely do far better shipping prices as well!

Has the great debate on Datsun ZG flares fitting or not been answered?

As far as the Selectmaz, I had a great thread a while back about their Group C replica body kit. It was about 1500 for the whole kit, 360 just for the flares, 380 on the wing and about 750-780 for the shipping. Other full widebodys are around 2-3k or so, so this is what I wanted to go with. I would love some less aggressive "Street" flares though. Gotta be riveted on though.

Cool Best Flares

I don't mean to come off conceited but I think I got the best flares.
CP Racing, hate the service and the price.....but the product looks good if done right. I used stainless screws.

If they were still selling to the public I'd certainly buy a set, but now we're all screwed for decent fender flares

Slammed_GSL....What size wheels/tires do you have? What backspacing?
I absolutely love the stance of your car. What suspension are you running?

I must say those flares look exceptional with the Epsilons. If I could have found a decent set without going through CP, I would have. Ironic thing is, my widebody kit came from them too, and thier customer service and product sucked when they were still producing them.

Great job on the install, kudos for your work. While the original gold centers do look good with the black body, I prefer black/charcoal centers with the black body paint. If you choose to go with a darker center, PM me for for powdercoating pricing, you only need to remove 80 allen screw remove the centers, lol. Fun part is getting the 2 half shells sealed during assembly to prevent leaks, lol.

If your wish to keep the old school look, I can probably find a good gold pc to freshen the centers up.

Where did you source your ss screws and what was the pice? I have 3 different bolt lenths and 2 different thread pitchs on ine for previous owners.

...still not low enough!
Search on Slammed_GSL for details on the fender flares/coilovers with how to pics.

Changing out my R&P steering soon, going to a front steer if I can swing it.

Trochoid: I used SS screws with predrilled hole, no backing nuts. I bought them but with the metal work I did on cutting the fenders I just went the easy route.

If the bolts are tapped into the shell halves on the Eps, I would back them up with nuts and lock washers. Imho, there isn't enough meat for the threads on the Eps for long term security/holding power due to the dynamic forces they are subject too, to great of a risk. Can't speak for the Enies, nevr seen a set.

I flared my factory fenders today to clear the 16-65-15 Michelins that I will run this year.

Baseball bat and a friend to push the car, that's all it takes...
