I also Ordered LaminX taillight tint while I was waiting to save up for Blacklines.

At this point I felt like I needed way more, I took a chance with Ambit Wheels and they gave me a great deal on some RE08.3's that were +15 that I had on for one day , even after I got my fenders rolled and pulled, still way to wide for stock body.

Here are pictures from the test fit.

Then Had them on like this for less than 24hrs before I needed to put my old wheels back on due to rubbing front and back.

After sitting and thinking of possible options, I decided to just go ahead and measure out a pair of zg flares for a 280z and the measurements came out pretty spot on. Order went in for those.

After all the hassle of getting my wheels sorted out, and getting the fender flares installed (which took way longer then expected)

This is how she sits currently with new LCI Blacklines AS well

Looks good! Loving the wheels!

Few questions;

1. Where did you get the fenders?
2. Where did you get the fenders installed?

[inFamousKicks]

Interesting. How much more clearance did the flares give you?

2.5" rear and 2" fronts

[acoustix]

Are they custom ordered from zgfenderflares? Or did you use the s2k flares?

Once you go to zgfenderflares, click jdm fender flares and its off that site. My bad on the confusion

[Zombie1]

Did you have to mod the fender flares at all? I like the understated look compared to other kits. Good job man car looks great.

Nope. I didn't do any extra cutting or anything. Obviously they aren't meant for the car so the line on the fender at some points isn't perfect. I am ordering some stripping to go under in addition to new hardware just to clean it up. Other than that, it looks super good just bolt on. Thanks so much man, I appreciate it

[ShocknAwe]

Interesting. Glad there are more options for bolted flares, as I know quite a few are looking for this sort of thing. Would you mind taking a shot or two from the front end?

[acoustix]

Thanks for the clarification, also wondering about your wheel and suspension set up? could you post some specs please?

Everything is already in the build thread. Wheels are 18x9.5 square +15

[Ginger_Extract]

Interesting, I was actually looking at ZG flares this weekend wondering if they would fit up front on our cars. Where in SoCal are you?

Thanks a lot, love the vert too! Maybe when I have some free time ill go to some cars and coffee or a bmw meet in the near future. Have a few things I want to do before I bring her to those though. If only painting was cheap

[rod.bearings]

Love the flares! Nice Build.

[DTR]

very nice man. just a thought, would you consider cutting the flare at the fender bumper connection. only reason i see is the issue of removing the bumper. same deal with the back. Very nice tho. Kudos for the successful attempt. MOAR PIX PLEEZE!!!
