I'm pretty sure those aren't the Z flares. They're too long on the rear. They've got to be custom...

Zzzzzz Flares

Fiberglass Z flares WILL NOT fit the shape of a FB body. I tryed this as far back as 85, and they did NOT fit. If someone made them fit, POST it on here. Plastic ones MIGHT work (MIGHT).(BIG MIGHT).

RX-7 flares can be bought down under if you can pay the postage.

I've seen some for sale for ~150 if I read correctly, though the company hasn't gotten back to me.

So in short, these are for 240,260,280Z's with the "G nose".

There's a guy selling a full set of those on Ebay right now, and it's over $150 with 8 days left.

Yeah, I have no desire to deal with cp racing ever again, plus the fact that those flares are incredibly overpriced.

You could probably find a used set for around $1000
I have three sets coming to me on Monday (per UPS).

Set one: 15x7 4x114.3 for the SA
Set two: 16x7 4x114.3 for the FB in it's current config.
Set three: 16x8 r 16x7 f 5x114.3 for the FB after T2 front brake swap and 'stang rear. Will probably pimp them on my Toyota truck until then.

Just e-mailed CP Racing to see what their Turn-around time is currently on their flares... I'll keep everybody updated

I heard through the grapevine that older 240z's, 260z's and 280z's fender flares will fit with no issues. Hopefully somebody can back me up on this.

I hate to do this, but I'm really wondering definitively about those flares. It would really help me out with my current predicament!
