bimic92 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 So just looking around at pictures online, but it seems when it comes to body styling (rear half of the car) that people either choose a rear bumper or fender flares, its always either one or the other, never both. I'm assuming it would look funny, or the flares would have a hard time matching up.. Just trying to get an idea of what it would look like. Have any of you seen a Z with both? The more pictures the better as well. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98cobra+75280z Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Check out Big Phils 280, flares and a 240 rear bumper. Looks great IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightoftheRound Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 IMO it looks weird WITHOUT the rear bumper, flares or not, that is to say not BAD, just like its missing something. Typing 240ZG in google images returns 7 240Zs with flares and rear bumpers on the first page alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dershum Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Along these same lines, I've always wondered why folks intentionally remove the bumpers (usually the front) but don't seem to clean up the scalloping under the headlight buckets where the bumper used to connect to the body. Is it so they can be put back on to pass inspection later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimic92 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 ok yeah, I get what you're saying, but I was referring more to this type of after market rear bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Me, I'm a bumper kind of guy. The SKINNY ones of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimic92 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I agree, my 260z already had the msa II kit on it when I purchased it. I was just looking around on the internet and noticed that I didn't see any with that kind of bumper/flare combo, and I'm guessing it just doesn't work out too well, but I haven't seen one, so I don't know for sure.

Six_Shooter Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The reason your don't see the Type2 or Type3 kit with flares is because those kits wrap into the wheel wells, and would make it difficult to bolt on a set of flares with those body kit pieces. It seems that many people either don't want to modify one or both parts (body kit and/or flares) to fit with each other, or they just follow in other people's foot steps of using ZG flares with the early bumpers, or no bumper.
