Those flares look so badass. Love it.

[Rayman]

more progress, wont be able to finish tonight, gonna try to do 1 more, that leaves one for tomorrow...enjoy

front completely finished (except paint)



rear (same)

[Rayman]

ps. i know the flares are perfectly "round" (or conical), thats what you get with parts made for other cars and having to bend/bow it to fit here. but i can live with that.

Holy wheel gap! is your car lowered?

[Rayman]

yea thats the reason why i wanted flares, i actually wanted more wheel gap. really tired of rubbing going over bumps and making turns. the gap looks bigger than they lead on in the pics here, wheel openings are a little higher than before, but the car sits at the same height.

[mx-3_4evr]

Oh I see. I want to see more pics

Looking great Rayman I 2nd the pauls323 hood headlight mod

[Rayman]

hood headlight? link?

calling it a night, got 3 done, hopefully get the last one done 1st thing in the morning. i'll tell u what, this mod is not for the faint of heart. its much much much more involved than i thought, and i'm never one to underestimate any projects big or small.

i would NOT recommend this project for anyone who doesnt have 1) craft(smanship) and 2) patience - mainly due to the fact that this is pretty much a fabrication ordeal, by getting fender flares (universal or for a different model), only thing u gain is not having to model up some flares and mold them, after that, it's all testing, fitting, retesting, refitting etc. etc.

anyways, i look forward to seeing this thing in daylight, and being able to stand back and look at the whole thing out of the garage. hopefully finished pics tomorrow.

when you gonna drop it down a little bit. but it looks great as is too

[Rayman]

im not gonna move down the flares, im just leaving it as is. a couple of "issues". the location right now, the outer edge of the flares lines up with the stock fender crease line (the flat part), if i was to drop it down, then that fender line will show on top (in addition) to the new flares, IMO, that's too busy and just wont look as well thought out. and might actually make the added flares look too saggy. plus as mentioned, i wanted this partially for practical purposes to eliminate rubbing, as is now, when i'm cranked all the way (left/right) the front wheels still rub the flares a little. so to drop it down anymore will become a bit more impractical.

i mean it does look a bit high, and i know alot of guys, esp. the germans and some of the 240/rx7 etc. w/ the widebody, they literally have their fenders sitting on the tires, but that's not the extreme look im going for.

[Ace]

i meant lowering the car itsself. lol
edit- after looking at the begining of the thread i see you already have. hmm it looks a little high.

[worldhazard]

i don't think it neccessarily even needs to be lowered. i thin k another 1" would look coo. but i love the stance now. reminds me of thsoe damn 'go-kart' cars lol. we got a couple 240z's out herethat have this 'homebrew' look to em.. and it's crazy as hell..

godjob!
