DavyZ Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 The air dam won't be a problem, but I am wondering about the sides and rear valence interfering with the bottom of the flares. Let us know what you find out! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl327 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I think the zg flares would clash with the aero kit. The aero kit is really smooth, and well, aero, a little squared off at points and such.. aero kit is usually painted body color, zg classic look is black or anthracite creating a bolder contrast with the rest of the body. I think the car would look weird with these two clashing looks, but maybe in a good way, its just a design clash to me. Regular bubble molded in flares would work better and exentuate the design of both IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Ok...I admit, I didn't think much about flares until I saw the above link...man...that car looks so bad ass... Now I'm thinking about getting flares!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I haven't been coming here or posting very much since the L6 discrimination started - Just happened to cruise through this forum. My Arizona Z Car 1-piece front end on the '77ZT originally had the exact shape of the MSA Aero Kit's spoiler - (My '78 daily driver has that kit on it - see the "model car" on my site.) and then I bonded on and molded in the MSA IMSA flares. The MSA side skirts were modified to make the "kick out" sections to mate with the flares. This was my first attempt at fiberglass work and took a lot of time doing and redoing stuff. It's still far from perfect. I really think the MSA kit does a good job of updating the Z's styling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Arizona Z car went out of business didn't they? Any idea on where to get a similiar front end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Arizona ZCar no longer makes fiberglass pieces - maybe a good thing because their stuff was not of very good quality. Lots of reworking required to make the piece fit. I didn't tell all I know above about the MSA kit - I had another car (The light blue car on my site doesn't have flares) with flares and the MSA spoiler/valence and had to trim the valence/ airdam where they met the flares. Pretty simple to do and looked good. Like I said before, the side skirts have to be modified to fit and blend well with IMSA flares, and that's the major work involved.

Guest 400HP280z Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 thanks for the replies. FL327.... if i do the ZG flares with the aero kit the flares will be the same color as the rest of the car. the whole car will be one color mirrors, bumpers everything. i'm also sanding and painting the chrome around all the windows black. SPEEDER.... i love the look of your Z. awesome work. how do you like your rear spoiler? i'm thinking of it or a whaletail type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I got the Kaminari wing with the idea of making the foil adjustable in case I need to tune aerodynamics when (hopefully some day) I run the Silver State Challenge. I've had the car up to ~140 or so and stability is pretty good. I've always liked the look of that spoiler, even if it has a somewhat "ricey" appearance. I don't know if those are made any more, either. I think that most of my car's body is obsolete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
