Title: Fender Flares
Post by: Skifledanabit on August 21, 2009, 09:08:47 PM
Ok, I\'ve done a search but haven\'t been able to find anything, I\'m looking for some bolt on fender flares, quite wide ones, like the 240z, I\'ve googled and found threads on them, but I have no idea where I can get some for the FC, if there arent any then what can I use?

Panspeed do some but they are pricey considering what they are.

i think the universal ones are quite hard to use on the FC\'s as they\'re not going onto a flat surface. If you get what i mean, hard to explain.

L18m, I saw those, overfenders like those are pretty ugly though, don\'t you think? They don\'t really bring the arch width out any more really, just make the top look wider from the bonnet

maybe get normal flaired arches then stick them on top of the flared arches?
that style on fd looks nice i thinks, but each to their own :)
