datdime Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 hi, im a long time lurker of this forum and thought i would sign up. i was interested in seeing if anyone had any pics of the fender guards on a 510 flared out, instead of rolled in. i came across this datto and really fell in love with its style. :wub: if anyone has any info let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Welcome to active membership! That is a beautifull car. The flares look perfect with the equally awsome wheels. Question is are they metal or fiber? What do they look like from the underside? Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 My guess is metal. Looks real nice, would be nearly perfect minus those mirrors. I dig 4dr 510's FTW. Oh yeah, welcome too. Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 That is a bitchin car. I love the fact that they didn't shave the rear doors to make it a 2 door, just to put on the flares. Welcome to Ratsun. Is yours a 2dr or 4dr? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 needs SSS bullet mirrors but has cool dual-star wheels Undoubtedly those are metal flares. Because they go into the door, it is not trival to make them. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Undoubtedly those are metal flares. Because they go into the door, it is not trival to make them. Agreed, flaring those puppies into the door was a stand out move for me too. Niice! Quote Link to comment
paradoxx Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 this was the pics a was waiting for.....I always wanted to take a look at a 4 door flared 510. Does the wipers really work as suicide wipers? Quote Link to comment

sssr20det510 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I think 4 doors is all about the wheels and stance Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I really like the Mk3's, too. I guess konig makes a knock-off now called the "B-Bomb".. just not the same, though.. Quote Link to comment
datdime Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 im not really a knockoff rim supporter myself. so is there any place i can get metal flares or is it a custom thing? Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 a custom thing? :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
73dime Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I like how the flares don't interfer with the ghost line that goes down the side. Most flares go above that line and mess up the nice lines on the 510. Quote Link to comment
paradoxx Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 :thumbup: yup, pure hand made.....ive been looking all over the internet and never got any flare set for a 4 door.

I have to agree with your comment, those are soooo well done. Quote Link to comment
