OlderThanMe Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 My personal favorite off-the-shelf flare combo would be the rear 280YZ flares matched with the front VB flares Jay Hitchcock's car matched with these fronts modified to cover the front tires and a wider air dam: Mark Rolston's car Both of these cars are sweet but I think the combo would look incredible! What combos do y'all like on a Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8_DatZun Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 not EXACTLY off the shelf but my fav combo would have to be.. PORKCHOP! sexay azz car. 280yz's are great.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8_DatZun Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 forgot the zx... the IMSA square flares that zfiberglass has listed would look good on a zx.. i plan on making some flares that are kind of like them.. as for the front bumper the zx looks great with the zx gnose... but where in the world will you find one other than japan?

viperredls1z Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Are those beetle flairs all steel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8_DatZun Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 yes but... not my car... but when i was looking you can find them CHEAP compared to flares MADE for a z... you just have to trim the beetle flares up a little... weld um up and you got steel flares cheaper and sturdier than fiberglass ones..

OlderThanMe Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 the Victoria british/black dragon flares are based off of the VW beetle flares. Not exact but VERY close. If you are lucky enough to have a bug junkyard you can get 4 rear flares (rears are what you need to use) for like $30 and then modify them to fit.

speeder Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Obviously, I like the 280YZs front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think it all boils down to what most folks can afford. Ken Jones and I were talking on the phone the other day about this very subject. It's a royal pain fitting and finishing the flares. Underside work to get the flares to work properly can be very expensive. It's a major process that can be VERY expensive, unless like Rick above (with Porkchop), you do your own work and you have his ability and skill. Hell, doing ZG flares properly can be daunting in and of itself. I almost went with the VB Steel flares, but didn't want to add to the already lengthy process. Of course, now that I've bought a Gnoze kit for the car, I'm second guessing the flares, but I hope the ZG Flares I've made the decision to go with will work well... They don't look like the best solution, but certainly aren't the worst option if done properly! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think zcar.com wants their picture back. That's the second time you insert THAT image from their site. Poor zcar.com and their stolen bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperredls1z Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Can anyone direct me to more pics of cars with steel flairs? especially the beetle ones, the shot of that orange car got me thinkin... I haven't spent nearly enough time or $ on my car yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Here are some MAS flares that are very affordable. $59 for front flares $69 for the rears(fronts not shown): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careless Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 where does one get the yz flares that were pictured in the first post on the gray car? i looked at rick b's z, and i didnt notice that the YZ's were installed, but he does have the MSA Street flares molded in that i wanted originally. i'd like to have a combination of the two on my car, sicne I have no choice now, due to body work. But i'll be making it myself, i just wanna see the flares though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 careless: Hey I just saw a lisence plate on a big truck that said "carless"...lol The flares in the second pic are from black dragon auto and are based off of vw beetle fenders. the fenders on the top car are from www.reactionresearch.com and are about $1200 for front and rear flares...
