240sx Wide Body/Flares Thread

[180sxfaktory]

Do Luck rears from a few years back and some no name generic pieces I got a Up Garage back in 2002. This car has been sporting this same look all along. While everybody is going tall and wide, I'm going smaller and fatter with some Type R Watanabe 14x11.5 and 14x9.5 with some IMCA flares that I'm designing. You could say I'm turning the clock back to 1988. Lol!

[Vidra]

i was just waiting for someone to mention his car.... i second your opinion sir!

THIS is the sexiest flared s-chassis ever. Bomex's is a close second.

bomex takes my heart.... so prettyful. made me fall in love with s13's again

[babowc]

hgm..^ does take the win imo..bomex's car has a odd lookin rear bumper.its just too narrow.. with the stock bumper and a lip/flare/whatever you want to call it.

bomex's car does look nice.. but ^ takes my heart when looking from behind

only complain i'd have about his car is the front bumper... i try to picture it with a chuki one. it's still really nice

i wish i would of went with 50mm rear over fender and the front 50mm front fenders, after i destroy the body kit this summer im gonna redo it with overfenders im not a fan of flares anymore. with my new rims they might look ok.heres some pics of my s14 with flares i think the new rims with the correct offset will set it off and the wing is gone so it cleaned it up alot.

[lbrowne]

this is my favorite flared s-13

I like those rear quarter pieces, underneath the park lights. ANyone know who makes those. I've come to the conclusion that those sorts of pieces are the hardest to find body pieces for the s13.

I don't want the ugly jdm optional ones that have the curved down lip and fugly bumper piece.

[awesomenick]

not sure who this belongs to.but i thought it was kinda sick..

[xdarkrune]

damnn those chargespeed flairs are awesome! i wanna get some..but molded into the body...mmmmm

[HashiriyaS14]

I've been trying to find some flares for the S13, so far just the crappy ebay universal ones and the JUN $400 ones

$400 for all 4?

That actually isn't half bad, considering the quality. I might have to look into that.

[thenillaz]

I take back what I said about flares all looking the same. The JUN ones look more defined and agressive than the chargespeed and others.

[bt2s14]

Found this pic on Z ilvia, Flash/G Corporation from what they said.

[Mangudai]

Do oem style fiberglass fender exist? Ive been thinking about fenders but worry about the safety in a crash.

I would like to know too

[LostAndFound]

They look like the ones from the 'Nismo' body kit you find on ebay.

50mm overfenders make a HUGE difference. I put on 10.5 inch wide rear wheels with a 32(?)mm offset and may still need spacers to get them to where they don't look sunken in. And I am a fan of the rivet/screw look. Looks more race-ish. Plus, if you hit something drifting, or being a dumba$$, they are easily replaced. And I did pound my factory wheel wells up to the bodyline for added tire clearance, then undercoated it to prevent rust.

[DeXteR]

here's a couple pictures of teamate "prodigy". the "drift slut" is a work in progress. rears are origin, i don't recall what the fronts are.

[lbrowne]

I just put these on my project car last weekend, chargespeed... covers the whole quarter.

Those look easy to install. How much? Anymore pics of fitment?

How about the finished product? For me I would go 30mm for sure.

wow

Here, check this link out. $99 a pair, front and rears available.

[sil80drifter]

I think that's $99 each....Quote:

Stock Code: NI2489943FFJMEF Unit/measure: ea Location: Vendor Name: Vendor Part No.: Material: FIBEREGLASS On-hand qty.: -1.000

Otherwise I'd buy them although somehow $200 for flares makes me want to get just 30mm front fenders for same/little more money instead.

My new wheels are going to be sticking waaay out when I get my new wheel studs and SPL Gorilla lug nuts to mount them. My oem studs are stripped. I was wondering what Fender flares might looks like on a stock coupe body. I know they would make the wheels looks flush since I'd guess that mine are at least 30mm outward in the front.

[nismofly]

^^ what sizes are your new wheels?

here's a couple pictures of teamate "prodigy". the "drift slut" is a work in progress. rears are origin, i don't recall what the fronts are.

im looking forward to seeing this a little farther along

[awesomenick]

I agree, I've got more...I can't figure out who it belongs too,or where I got the pictures.

maybe it's just the angle but it looks like the front fenders are just rolled.....

[boznuttz]

15x7 with 195 60 tires. I JUST bought them off another Nico member, but the offsets are CRAZY and I love how they look. I'll get some decent pictures when I mount them later this week. These pictures are just a test fit on stripped studs. The wheel gap with them is only about 2.5 inches or so, and they stick out about 30 mm or so. I was wondering if I should go ahead and get fender flares to make the wheels look more flush AND kill off a good amount of fender gap.

[dickie]

sure!

[boznuttz]

It looks like they could take away the appearance of the wheel and fenger gap:



From Inertiadrift's car several months ago I believe.
