Default Search is over the proper fender flares for the 350z.

I have looked over tons and tons of different fender flares for the 350z through the years and have found myself dissatisfied.

JPNGarage - big boy fenders flares for the z33 - really poorly designed and don't look nice.



Rocketbunny - expensive and look terrible on the front fender looks partially dented in and the rear fender sticks too far out looks like a handicap 350z.






Stardast - very expensive, front fender flares look too basic rear fender flares look ok...mostly the cost of these flares is something i do not want to deal with and also coming straight from japan



Bensopra - the bensopra flares are to me damn near perfect, but really expensive and a pain to get having to call the right reps in japan to get them.





and then you have all your other fender flares like veilside v3 which is too aggressive and looks really ricelike.

the flares that i am proposing that i have finally accepted are these fender flares.

crown carbon crafting v2 fender flares for the 350z.







the wide body lines are clean from front to rear it doesnt stick out too much and just gives it that extra aggressive stance and they are made here in the US at a cost of about 800-1000 dollars which include all 4 fender flares.

stay tuned this will be my next mod.

They all look the same to me. There is a set of rears I like, I believe they are 20mm wider, that's it.

their are some similarities....but its those subtle details that really make a difference.

the crown carbon crafting i believe has gotten all of the details of the fender flares correctly for the 350z at every angle that you look at the car....

Look unfinished when they only come halfway down the tires.

Why is it that all the fender flares look like an add on? I get it that they're supposed to look like that but if I were to make my z a wide body, I would want it to look finished. To each their own I guess, none of the wide body z's do it for me.

Why does it only cover like only top half of the tires? I like the ones that actually cover most of the tires.... New fender flares just cutoff and doesn't flow well with the body

The 350 can already accommodate proper wheel/tire widths without flares. They all look stupid IMO.

Sometimes it makes me sad to see these slammed useless things called cars...


There is a kid with a slammed s2000 and he scrapes every 3 ft.. And takes 10 min for each bump... Such a waste of a awesome car
