denis.drc Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I've looked around and found lots of ZG flares, but most seem to be 2 - 2.5" wide.I'm looking for something more like 4 - 5". I'm looking for something larger in the rivet-on or box flare style, urethane or fiberglass. No so much into the BRE style bubble.. Universal is fine, I'm fairly savvy.. Btw. these are for a 510. Any help is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment

Any sources for box flares or urethane parts? I've seen the 'extra wide' futofab kit and love it for track use, but it changes the body line too much. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Ive looked into urethane ones and all I found was realy ugly and not wide. But I hate box flares with a passion so I have never even looked into them, nor will I good luck lol Quote Link to comment

Thanks for your help with the link. It's more than I've been able to find! Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Mine (carbon fiber wide zg flares) should ship tomaro, ill post pics. Maybe... if I get them ever. The wait is killing me. Quote Link to comment
denis.drc Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Please do post or PM some pics. I'd love to see them on something other than a Z. Quote Link to comment

HudsonMC Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Those z force flares are pretty huge. Do you have any pictures on other cars of what you might be looking for? I'm having trouble picturing anything wider that isn't a box flare that wouldn't change the body line too much. edit: spelling Quote Link to comment

I'm having trouble pictureing anything wider that isn't a box flare that wouldn't change the body line too much. I measured and the new wheels will come out about 5" past the body line. I'm not too concerned with changing the body line. The Z-force flare looks is PERFECT, I just need them to be a little wider. More like this.. Quote Link to comment
Silky_Johnson Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 They kind of resemble bubble flares, but you could try hacking up Volkswagen bug fenders like the old lightweight Roadsters? Quote Link to comment
denis.drc Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for the tip! I've considered grafting, but I really like the rivet-on look. I don't want to bond them. If all else fails, I'm savvy enough with composites to stretch some ZG flares to size. I know I'm probably have to modify whatever I get, at least a little. I'm just hoping to reduce the potential amount of work... Quote Link to comment
HudsonMC Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 wow! 5"! I must have a few more details on your plans. Sounds crazy! Maybe some KP61 starlet flares? Kind of a hybrid box flare/bubble flare... Quote Link to comment

Kind of a hybrid box flare/bubble flare... I've considered that, but fear it will look completely wrong on a 510... Any chance someone has done this already? I'm curious now.. I'll share details on the build plan once I start the next wave of tear-down & upgrades.. :ninja: Quote Link to comment
HudsonMC Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Maybe cross-post to the realm. I know there's a guy over there looking to make composite floor pans, quarter panels, front clips, all kinds of crazy stuff. You might be able to talk him into something like this. Here's his build thread. They built a carbon fiber bull bar....interestingly enough. http://the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24250 Quote Link to comment

I've looked around there as well and will look around some more. The guys here at Ratsun and 510-Realm have been awesome and very helpful! :thumbup: So far it looks I can get the width I need as long as I can convince myself to go with box flares. I'm still on the fence about that. I REALLY like the look of rivet-on.. I'm still open to ideas, so keep it coming. Quote Link to comment

When I search around for "BAMF ZG flares", I mostly just come up with 3" stuff. Quote Link to comment
