dirty white boy Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 The wide ZG flares that 280zforce sells are $390 for a set. They are a 10 bucks cheaper than those eBay ones and probably much better quality too. I'm definately thinking about getting a set myself. They look freaking awesome. i don't know the quality of the e-bay ones (probably not very good, but they do have a good rating with a 7-day return policy) but they are $100 for all 4 and free shipping.

jkupp2000 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Well can someone buy from zforce so they can tell all of us if we should start buying from them again. I really want the G-nose from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoover Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm going to order new rims, probably from the group buy. i already have original ZG flares from Japan. If I find that the wheels stick out too much, I'll order the set. Hmmm...any 17x10's out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtiez Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I bought the finishing kit for my existing Motorsports ZG Flares. It really sets the flares off. However, I had drilled larger holes for my existing flares than the screws that came with the flares. I went to Home Depot and found some tapered brass screws that would fit inside of the plastic grommet and still be able to have the cap put on. Well worth the effort.

FiveSeventyZee Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 the ebay ones are actually $290 less... probably not very good. but not $400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240z8 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 the ebay ones are actually $290 less... probably not very good. but not $400 Yeah, I noticed that after someone else brought it up. I thought it was $100 for one flare because the ebay description, well, kinda sucks to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoffmyinternet Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Sounds like somebody needs to get their hands on a set of these bad boys and make a splash, both literally and figuratively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkgts1 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I bought the wide Carbon fiber ZG flares frome Zforce (Justin) about a year ago. They were not excelent quality or anything, but good enough for my purposes. I live near him so I just picked them up no issues. You just have to buy from him when he has it in hand or else you will wait the better part of your life for the part. Anyway don't want to get into that discussion again, but if you are interested in what they look like, I have pictures of them in the projects forum.

ARiskyCvt Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I got my set of Wider ZG flares from Japan from a company call Maugen. If you want to know how there quality is top notch. There Gnose is one of the best in the world in built an quality, but thats another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skittle Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'm just waiting for justin to start on the Vette tail light panels. That is if he ever gets around to them. I would love a set of ZG's as well. What is used as a gasket to go between the flair and the body to prevent water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilten_one Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 If anyone would like pictures of the wider ZG flares from Justin I can take pictures of mine,they are still as I received them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoffmyinternet Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I would like that very much. Wondering about how they compare to the picture he has on his website. Also he told me last week he has one set left I can pick up but he hasn't responded since. Not the most punctual guy all around. I want to see them and hopefully buy them, but I'm not paying full price if they look beat up or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilten_one Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I'll try to take the pictures tomorrow before I leave for work the house's lighting is quite poor. Edited March 17, 2010 by kilten_one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilten_one Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) I just got the pictures taken, due to their size I will link to the album. In case anyone is wondering these were taken on the hood of a 1983 Porsche 928S. Pictures If anyone wants more pictures try to let me know before the the weekend is over, I plan to mount them this weekend.

getoffmyinternet Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm actually surprised to see cloth. Not the best layup technique but not as bad as I thought they would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoffmyinternet Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 After several weeks he just got back to me. He said his shop has been very busy (noticed on the website he mentioned being down for a while and revamping). "I'm hoping the shop has some extra sets ready for me next week and I'll give you a ring... I don't have the extra set anymore after I closely inspected it, I didn't like the way it was cut after production so they are redoing it." Funny he touched on being cut poorly like one of you mentioned earlier. Perhaps now he is trying to up the quality of his parts because of their low reputation?

LoneStarS30Z Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Anybody have any updates on this story? Just installed my wheels and flares and I'm in definite need of wider flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I sold my rear flairs to somebody on the board, I don't recall if was going to reproduce them but he does have the ability to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
