Test fit was successful. Need to add a 3mm spacer to the fronts to clear brembos which will make it -33. Rears will need a 5-10mm spacer just to even out the rear wheels to match the fronts or make to it look more aggressive which will make it -25 or -30.

Yea I've seen the build on that 350z. It's all metal and I don't like how there flares turned out. It's the flat piece on the side that bothers me. Mine won't look anything like that. Heres what INSPIRED me and what I hope comes out with the finish project.

a lot of people have been using the chargespeed universal overfenders for other cars. It would look really clean if they were molded in

Where did you source the flares? And how close did they match up?

Personally I think this will look great. I'll also be at the WFC meet, looking forward to seeing this in person.

Out of curiosity, what shop down here do you use? I'm a new Z owner about to start modding and need a shop!
