JSM Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 It's all up to you. If your car has a mint paint job maybe not. Again your choice. If you don't mind cutting up the rear tire wells to do it properly and have fair to poor paint, do it. But going back to stock is very difficult.

austyn Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks. And no it doesn't have any paint on it right now so I'm probably going to do it now. And I'm pretty sure I'm not going to go back to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehime Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Most deff yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKZX Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) If you aren't going stock, then yes. But I believe this belongs in either the S30 or Body Kits and Paint forum.. Most importantly, do what you want. If you want a badass stance with an aggressive look and wide wheels then flares are perfect.

stravi757 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I went as far as acquiring the flares and rotas wheels(17x9.5) and backed out. It does look nice, but when it came down to it i realized I wanted to use my car as a DD and flares dont fall into the category of a DD IMO. I also didnt have it in me to cut my perfectly good quarter panels. I came really close to doing it but decided that it wasnt the look i wanted to go with in the end. I like the classic body lkines on the car and didnt want to riun them. Maybe my next Z I will do fender flares... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll buy your flares if you want to sell them but I'm in the UK and will need them shipped. Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Silver Z came with them which was nice. Man I miss that car. I did have a few people snub the car because of the flares. I'd be curious if there were any negative impact on the value of the car.

johnc Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 A decision to flare a S30 is essentially a one way decision. Its very expensive to un-flare a car. Keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverdone Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Flares look great if you have the right wheels and tires for them. With 17x9.5's in the rear, it should probably look really good. If you're using smaller wheels and tires though, it usually just looks dumb. If you're kinda worried about resale value, possibly look into some less agressive molded flares as apposed to the ZG bolted on kind. Not everyone likes the ZG look, but most people appriciate a wider stance. Edited April 6, 2011 by Neverdone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Or just bite the bullet and get the IMSA flares from zccjdm.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stav2201 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Im running the MSA flares and love the look. Its just hard to figure where you want them situated and how much of the metal to cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
