I need to lower it, cut the fenders, and put some wheel spacers on. Then I'm saving up for a real paint job!!

 

Looks great! I've been considering them for mine.

Be prepared for coil overs and sectioned struts in the front to lower it even this low:

Hmm. I was going to put that right there on my '77, when I had it:

Nice to see it going to good use.

Hey phil looks good, But i think the rear flares may be a tad low.

 

 

The way i was shown to install the flares on the rear was to try and pickup where the inner fender well would intersect the rear 1/4 at is highest point then go 1/4 inch above that. That should line the rear fenders up with the fronts so they follow the body line. I dont have a perfect picture to show you what i mean but look at mine. The purpose for the flares is to be able to run wider tires and also lower the car. you cant do this without cutting the 1/4. Most do this is by cutting the 1/4 panel and match it up with the inner fender so there there is nothing to rub on with suspension at full travel. At any rate here is a couple pics of mine which where installed by a body shop in japan. See how the rear flares are actually above the door handle.

In this picture the rears look to be below the door handle.

Thats how I was going how to mount the Zg flares Higher than the door handles cause I felt it was too low when I did fit under the line. I guess I was right. I am starting to mount the Zg flares tmr. I did a practice test on one of my spare front fenders. Let me know if that is incorrect.
