Question SA/FB Flares/Wings?



Who makes these and where can I get them? (The flares and the wing).

Aren't those Nissan 240Z flares? Heard they were pretty universal.

Yeah, looks a lot like the ZG flares.

That wing looks pretty good. Maybe I'll use that one instead of the Atkins one I was planning on getting. Someday, when I have money.

They are the fiberglass (or CF) ZG flares.

Here the CF is $340, the fiberglass is $200:

I'll probably go with these guys though:

if you only use 2 of the flares, i may want the other two...
and why dont they make flares in plastic? with enough flexibilty they would fit anything nicely..
