RB26powered74zcar Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 You're right' date=' Hugh. They are really lagging in that department. FWIW... I don't know if MSA or VB are selling any flares, other than the ZG's, right now. I think that the company who was producing thier FRP (Wings West) was bought out. The new company, it is rumored, no longer wishes to make Z parts.[/quote'] I placed my order for those flares at MSA and they didn't show that they are NLA.... I hope they don't make me wait for a month, then tell me they are NLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadman Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Perhaps they got thier mold troubles worked out. Did you place your order on-line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadman Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Joel, They're still out of the flares and do not know when to expect any in. Hopefully they haven't charged you for flares you may never recieve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Ah pooie..... " Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, the street flares you ordered are no longer available. We do still offer the ZG flares if you are interested in those. We haven't charged your card for anything yet so let me know if you'd like to substitute these."

Careless Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 on the topic of flares. does anyone know the type of flares are pictured in the attached file? they're probably molded in, but i checked a number or designs, and couldnt find anything with the same sort of face most flares dont cover the wheel in much the same way. they lips never round out as much as the ones in this pic, if you can tell what i mean. also, if you know which spoiler and side skirts these are, that'd be a good thing to know (for me anyways ) i think the owner of this car is called Rick Bowers? anyone have contact info regarding this fellow?

240Z_Master Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I get 20% off at MSA on MOST things... Oh yeah, when I got a set of CF ZG Flares from a friend, I wasn't mpressed, not to mention they look scuffed up, and when I got a new set, they were more scuffed up than the old set. My opinion, get the regular fiber ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR240Z Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 ive already bought 2 sets of CF flares from MSA, no issues at all as far as quality of the carbon or clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadman Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 We should turn this thread away from the quality of MSA flares and instead focus on my WOAIP (Work of Art In Progress)! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 that's why you prep and prime... Prep and prime carbon fiber? Well, I guess the point of the CF Flares is the look of CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 they could be just for weight redo. or they could be changed with aluminum ones, which are sometimes lighter. but who the hell does that nowadys you dont need carbon fibre to make a car look good. infact, i dont think it looks all that good just hanging there, unnless it's a black car. that's just me though. as long as everything flows together, and it's not out of place. or everyhting on the car is out of place.. it won't look like it belongs. but it belongs to the owner, so then what the hell, let em' carbon flares shine..

I can tell you that there is plenty of room for the stockers, though. A single might be a tight fit. Did you come to any conclusisons on whether the stock exaust manifold and turbo setup will fit. My car is completely stripped and on a rotiserie so I can't really test fit it. fbomb, The stock exhaust manifold and turbos will fit just fine. The problem is going to be the downpipe. I tried several dp combo's and only the units with a flexi-pipe were manageable. Almost all that I tried contacted the footwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
