z-ya Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Watch the video in this thread: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/115656-star-road-fairlady-360hp-l28-o/ They are bolt on, but they are painted the same color as body for a similar effect.

1vicissitude Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I wish there were more pictures, I'd really like to see the backside of the flares to better understand their mounting. Guess I could always swing by the store and bug the guys haha. Edited January 27, 2014 by 1vicissitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Maybe body panel glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about things like: Is it a huge tab on the underside for the tape? Does the attachment point have any effect on how much fender can be cut off? Will these cover up fender holes from previously installed ZG flares? Do they provide the same extra clearance as a ZG flare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 They appear to be molded from a blended ZG flare, if not the same as a ZG with the bolt holes filled in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I bought a rear set of these from MSA with the intent of using 3M 08116 panel adhesive to bond these onto my rear subtle z kit. I was not sure if the rear subtle z 1/4 panels with coil overs, camber plates and the Rota rbr 9.5" rears would all come together and allow me to utilize 265" or 275" tires, let alone fit period as the subtle z only increases width by 1.5". As far as room for double sided tape, not so much from what I see. I plan on adding more fiberglass to smooth the radius where the bottom meets with the dog leg and behind the rear tires. Just a quick tape up for a visual when I bought these a little while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_3 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks for sharing. Just out of curiosity, why do you have them mounted so high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Z Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've recently been thinking of filling in the bolt holes on my flares and blending into airdam aswell. I won't be blending it into the fenders itself but will make the edge flush as i can. I have access behind the flare front and rear so im thinking of fibreglassing some bolts into the flares and running a nut behind the fender. But because my flares sit nice without having to bend it to fit i may just glue/urethane and clamp it firm until dries. Here are some pics of my wide ZG's from jdmflares. I've mocked it up with some masking tape to get an idea what it may look like if i smooth the join between airdam/flare and delete the bolt holes.

Retro Z Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 By the way the above is running 275/40 upfront with ground control coilovers. With flares about an inch wider than usual zg's and Kameari airdam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in same boat and don't want bolts showing I ended up going a completely different route and purchased the "YZ" rear quarter panels from Ztrix where I originally got the "Subtle Z" kit from. I am planning on running a 315" rear tire and the "YZ" quarter will accommodate a 12" wheel. I was persuaded into having the rears made from metal by my body/paint guy and that is currently in motion. I still have the new MSA rear "zg" flares in my parts collection in bubble wrap.

Wow, those look nice! You going to sell a few sets to cover the cost of making those jigs? Also, what are your plans for front flares?

Mold studs into the rivet dimples then cover with bondo or fiberglass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
