KTM-EXC Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Iv also been wondering the same thing for a while now.

veritech-z Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 This came up on the "280zx widebody kit" thread that is going on in the vendors forum as well. There is a picture that Corpcrim posted that I'll try to repost (it doesn't work from this computer, but it works on other computers I've logged into the thread from). I don't know anything about this car, but it has ZG flares on it, so it can be done, whether these are specific to the ZX or modified S30 flares I couldn't say.

240hoke Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I have zg's on my s30, and I dont see why they couldnt be made to easily work. They are just very thin fiberglass, quite flexible and would be easy to modify with a little glass and resin. Im usually not to found of the 280zx, but that widebody one is absolutly nasty! I love the front end and the zg's look great. I have also see zg's on 300zx's with wats and that sure does look good at well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Im usually not to fond of the 280zx, but that widebody one is absolutly nasty! I love the front end and the zg's look great.

hotimport Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 That wide body Z just looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 The ZG flares may not extend the ZX's width much at all, seeing that the ZX's guards are already flared? The guard edges on mine have been rolled to give a bit more tyre clearance with the front guards being massaged and pulled out a bit as well. Its all about personal taste but my choice would be to cut, add and shut the present flares to make them wider, retaining the original general shape.

veritech-z Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 If there is a demand (ie people who have real, actual money to put down) I know betamotorsports has entertained the idea of fiberglass and carbon fiber parts on occasion (although I don't want to speak for them, you would have to contact them to know for sure, so PM Johnc). Johnc ended up doing some carbon fiber 280zx hoods after enough people came up with the cash IIRC. That thread should be in the vendor's forum somewhere. Also, you might convince Paulo, the guy that was making all the carbon fiber tail light panels and fascias in the vendors forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
