sparkynacho Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I own a 280Z with fiberglass fenders flares and I was wondering if there is a way to add about another 1" or 2" to them? If so, how involved is the process or where can I find out how to do it? My reasoning behind this is that the wheels that came with the car extend past the outer edge of the fenders.

blueovalz Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 How handy are you with bodywork? Fiberglass? The simplist way would be to find some fiberglass flares and then bond them to your fenders. A more complicated method is the creation of flares from scatch. Certain types of foam lend themselves well to shaping and are hardy to the resin's harsh environment. This foam then could be shaped to a flare as a buck for the fiberglass to be laid over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkynacho Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 First project, first time, I am learning as I go while trying to minimize the chance of doing the job twice. The foam that you mentioned will it adhere to the existing fiberglass or is there a special process for installing and blending it. I forgot to mention that the 1/4 panel are also made of fiberglass and not metal. The car used to be someone's race toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 This should answer some of your questions. It's a recent string with some tips on the second or third pages. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=97754&page=1&pp=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
