Has anyone seen wider rear fenders that have a stock look? I've seen a lot of rear fender flares for the Z33 but a lot of them look like total garbage. I like the wider rears for the older Porsche's. Does anyone know if there is anything similar for the Z?

IMO the Veilside fenders are probably going to be as close as "stock" looking fender flares as you are going to get.

Those would be ok if they didn't have moldings for the rear bumper and side skirts.

nothing a few hours of bondo and fiberglass can't cure .

Crown Carbon Crafting and Seinon both have oem style wide rear over fenders

You can see the line on the Porsche fender also.... unless you bondo or something it will be visible

Most fenders for the Z look unfinished. Like someone slapped them on and said "that'll do."

agree.. but that is just laziness on their part. i would want smooth lines

Rarely have I seen a set of molded-in flares (plastic, composite, 'glass) that didn't eventually crack at the body-to-flare joint. No surprise given the amount of flex the wheel arch areas experience in back. (Front not as bad since fender isn't stressed as much being a separate component from the body proper).

I spent a lot of my youthful work money on having flares done right with gussets and re-lipping the cut wheelwell to detract from the flex. And yet, they still started cracking - fortunately right before a taxi t-boned it and me, keeping me from spending more money getting them re-done.

The ZG style S30, RB type bolt on fenders don't have this problem as much; but yer right....they don't look as clean as a Porsche factory 930 flare. Yummmm....

if would be nice if they were removable, then a company could make some fiberglass ones to replace the panel

Then you can order special -40 offset rear wheels some 325 tires and still run spacers... And change your wheel bearings once a month.

Crown Carbon Crafting on FB offers what you are looking for

Yup^

Adds 15mm and looks stock.

superpilot04

Those rivet holes on the perimeter are killing me though.

APTech

install with hardware, bondo over holes.

superpilot04

Is 15mm even worth the trouble?

AffyliatedZ

Nope but they have a 50mm as well.

superpilot04

Those look more unfinished than the 15mm ones.

Liberty Walk makes more of the style I'm looking for. Sadly they don't make them for the Z. Because of course they don't. These also look like bolt ons rather than stock, but they seem more complete since they go further down the body of the car.
