Jboogsthethug Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hey all, After JPN garage went down I've had a hard time finding vendors for this style of flare, I just wanted to start a quick thread documenting some locations if anyone knows who else might sell them. Also, does anyone have info on Fiberglass Mafia? I haven't heard of them before but their pics look good. http://www.fiberglassmafia.com/store/p11/S30Zspeed.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartman Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm currently installing the Z Speed Flares from Fiberglass Mafia on my car. I wound up not liking the style as much as I thought I would and made a custom set by cutting up 2 sets of their flares. Still working on it, but it's getting close...

Jboogsthethug Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 @calZ actually on review those are different flares than what I'm asking about, but good to see somebody has had a positive experience with their products! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very careful with this site. I know the guy that owns the Z in the images and he bought his flares from Fiberglass Mafia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also curious is EZ Splitters is part of that umbrella. Does your friend like the fitment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that owns the brown Z had a body shop do his install and I seem to recall him telling me that it took alot of work to make them work. I haven't used anyone else's flares so i can't compare, but maybe it's common to need a lot of work to make flares fit well on our beloved older Z's?

I bought some wide ZG flares (The standard flares, but wider) off of ebay a while back and fit them to my Z myself just by laying them on, no fitment issues. Maybe the key word here might be *Perfectly* fitting haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
