RB26powered74zcar Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Or should I put the set of oem ZG's I have already, that are painted black? The ZG's (not shown), or these MSA fiberglass flares, painted the color of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poundz9oh9 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I personally like the looks of the ZG's. Those flares look kinda "bubbly" to me. No offense to those who like "bubbly" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I know which will let you run wider rubber. Those ones. What else matters? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Correction Joel! Those are MSA street flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 If those Street flares where expoxied to the car I'd say go for it. I like those MSA street flares when they are molded on. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Also, I think the car needs to be lowered a bit more to make the street flares look right. The car is sitting too high to make them look good. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 You could also do the bolts like Zhadman did, he bolted his street flares on, I liked that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 You could just send whichever ones you arent' using down my way...I need something to fill out my new fascia look. I like not body colored flares better than body colored flares, but the street flares are pretty cool looking. I'd be tempted to bolt them on and paint them gloss black.

Phantom Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I vote for the street flares. The ZG's have a nice retro look but the flares will allow some serious rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 They look terrible, so terrible you need to throw them in a box and mail them to me for proper disposal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Also, I think the car needs to be lowered a bit more to make the street flares look right. The car is sitting too high to make them look good. Justin I think so too..... I had to raise it up to be able to drive it around for now. Good thing I had coil overs. I kinda like the street flares also, but was thinking of going the body color. After some thought.... they would look killer in a satin black, installed like ZG's, using rib-nuts to attach them. I actually kinda like the look I have now, with no flares.... . I raised it up enough to where it doesn't rub, unless I hit a big bump, or put somebody else in the car.... oh well, back to the flares.... thanks guys, for your input!! j.

veritech-z Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I like the wheels you've got in that picture WAY better than the ones in your sig, J. I like the roller skate look (wide tires, no flares, kind of looks like an old school roller skate) too, but flares also can look nice.

Sparks280zt Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I like this method of install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaty69Maro Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 The car is going to look badass which ever one you choose. The amount of gap in between the tire and fender will make it or break it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73ZCAR Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Anyone handy with photoshop? How about one each of bonded and blended body color and satin black? J. I think bonded and blended in body color would look great on your car. Depends on the airdam you use though, Have you chosen one? The car looks killer so far. Mike.

speeder Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I am not a fan of ZGs or any other bolted on flares. So, I say, "Bond on and blend in." Go for the smooth look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbc3 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I personally like the flares blended into the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
