Whats up,

I want to put some wide tires on my first gen. The only way im going to pull that off is if I get some fender flares..

I cant find any cool ones for a good price.



So I am trying to make a set for my car, and I want to know what you guys think so far.. Keep in mind that they are a crude work in progress..

A friend of mine wrecked his Honda that had this front air dam on it...

It was broken up pretty good I got it for $20, and used it as a base for the one I have now. It took alot of spray foam and fiberglass, but most of all trying to learn how to do it right !!!



I cut Out the stock aluminum front bumper and welded in a tube frame front bumper to make it fit right..

Car is looking good. I had not seen you post in a while so I thought you abandoned the project. I thought that I would also add that you can use cabriolet flares or with a little modification you can use 240z flares.

This might be a dumb one...but ???? Can I use stock? 240Z flares or do I use some aftermarket 240Z flares. If so do you know where I could get a set???



Thanks!
