Guest Drewz Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Narrow tire for that rim isn't it?? I was running that on my 7 inch turbines with out flares. Off set looks to be quite a bit outwards too. Looks good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datsunlover Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Dude... Over all I like it, but the 'rice' style wing/huge exhast tip looks awfull.. IMO.. Cool rims though, and I have to give you this; Your car is complete and drivable... which is pretty far from where mine is right now!

240Z_Master Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I agree, the wing does kind of suck. However, my exhaust tip is 4" and it's pretty damn big, what makes the muffler look nice is that I still have my Chrome Bumper on so it's kind of hidden and kind of not hiden. Your car is complete black primer with a chrome looking exhaust tip like that so you're going to contrast and look like a sore thumb, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeremy_datsun_1976 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 thanks for the feedback.I just ordered a new spoiler from http://www.smoothline.com i think this will look better.I don't think the muffler is to big.It's 3" from front to back with stainless steel exhust 4"tip.

v8dats Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 is that primer or flat black? i think it looks cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeremy_datsun_1976 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 It's flat black right now.I should have the money this summer to put a very nice paint job on the car.I think I am going with a shade of yellow ...with the ZG flares gloss black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilRufusKay Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Ilike the flat black as well. Did you just paint the chrome? How is the paint holding up so far? Does it get dirty quick? Is it hard to clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott19 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 It doesn't help that that wing appears to be mounted on backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Roman Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 It doesn't help that that wing appears to be mounted on backwards. LOL you beat me too it im pretty sure its backwards as you can see the blunt end of the airfoil in the picture(that should be faciong fore other than that, i dontward vato) other than that, i think that spoiler looks pretty good.

JMortensen Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Is it just me or are the flares on totally wrong... Like you wouldn't get any more tire clearance with the flares on that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott19 Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 they're mounted a bit low, should probably be mounted right there even with the stock flare/arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Yeah, so that you can cut the outer half of the stock arch out completely (and make a new fenderwell) and make room for the wider tires to go all the way through the travel. Right now it looks like he has fender extensions on... This is what it should look like... with the flares up against the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
