Description:
As interest in carbon fiber parts for early Z-Cars increased over the years, it was only natural that fender flares would follow. We aren't the only ones who think they turned out awesome, and we believe you will agree when you see them on your early Z. Gloss finished carbon fiber pairs especially well with high gloss paints, wraps, and coatings, but also creates an interesting contrast with low and semi-gloss style finishes (such as flat, matte, and satin). The pictures don't do justice to the great, gloss look of the carbon fiber in person; they look great!

Fender flares are the simplest way to increase fender width if you plan to use extra wide wheels and tires, or even if you are aiming for a "stanced" look. The flares from the Fairlady 240ZG model remain the most iconic set for the Z-Cars; however, we received a number of requests for a wider version; here they are! Our Wide ZG Style Fender Flares add approximately an extra inch of width to each flare*** (roughly 2" overall body width increase compared to standard ZG style flares), allowing for even wider wheels and tires or larger wheel spacers where needed. This version of the Wide ZG Flare Kit is made of high quality Carbon Fiber with high gloss finish (see Related Items for Fiberglass), and comes ready to install*. Includes 4 position-specific flares (each corner is unique). Each flare mounts to the fender using your choice of fasteners or adhesive (not included; see Installation Notes).

**Kit Includes:

(1) Front Left (Driver's) Side Wide ZG Flare
(1) Front Right (Passenger) Side Wide ZG Flare
(1) Rear Left (Driver's) Side Wide ZG Flare
(1) Rear Right (Passenger) Side Wide ZG Flare

Installation Notes:
Keep in mind that the flares do have a specific position to mount on the car, making mock-up to the body before prep work or painting even more important. Masking or automotive grade double sided tape (not included) can be used to temporarily hold each flare in place during the mock up process. Automotive grade double sided tape can also be used for final installation in place of hardware. E-6000 adhesive is a simple way to "blend in" to the fender if you wish (see Related Items).

*Fitment Note:
Like the original ZG Flares, this part is considered "race fit". Additional trimming or shaping may be needed in order to fit your specific Z-Car setup. Several factors affect the fitment of fender flares, such as how you mount and position the flares, whether you choose to trim the fenders (and how much), which itself may depend on the wheels and tires you use, and how lowered your car is. For example, you may need to trim along the outer edge of the flare for additional clearance for some wheel and tire combinations (and depending on how "tight" of a fit you want to the tire). *9/74-78 Z's may require modification around bumper ends if the factory "large" bumpers are installed. The same applies when using flares with our "fascia" style bumpers (Type-2 and Type-3 fascias & body kits). Please give us a call for more details if you have any questions.

***Width Note:
Increased width compared to original ZG flares was measured on completely undamaged, original fenders, with the flares positioned as close to the original 240ZG mounting position as possible, and measured horizontally from the lip of the fender to the lip of the flare. Exact width increase for your specific Z will vary on several factors.
