Are you going to do anything with the transition for the flares from the bumper to the fenders?

Looks like you could take some material out to make it more fluid. Glad i don't do body work

^^ Agreed ^^

Since you already had to modify them it wouldn't have taken much to make the flare flow fluidly.

I sure will. Plan to revisit the front end of the car shortly which is why I haven't quite yet finished the front end flare. It's like 90% done. I was just happy it fit. Had to step away from it. The hours of sanding by hand and being filled with fiberglass and body filler took a toll on me haha. But I will hit the front end again and finish it up so it flows. That's easy. The hard parts are all done pretty much. I have primed the front of the car (minus the front end piece). Doors and door Jams and door mirrors are also done. Next is the A pillar and roof. Removing and installing the door by ones self is definitely a task haha.

It's getting close to summer, but definitely do the extra work and make it flow. You'll thank yourself in the long run.

DEVILS ADVOCATE:
Most people won't even notice the flare once everything is painted.
I had a car with a completely modified front bumper/molded headlights. The curve under left and right sides under the headlights were about an inch difference no no one every noticed it

Yeah the dust adds up real quick but I do take all precaution and do wear a mask. Well good news is the roof and A pillars are done! Will finish adding the rear flares end pieces before I prime the rear end of the car. Will modify them to some degree so it is flush with the car. Perfection is key and my goal is to knock out and get everything out of the way that I can before the first base coat is laid on the Z. The grey primer really helps me see where I can improve or fix body wise. But it is pretty much clean since about day 1. I never park near anyone lol.

Has been about 3 months since my Z was about 1 solid color haha. Stay tuned and thanks guys. Next up is the rear bumper since I do want to change a few things before priming. Rear flares are also next and then I will swing towards the front one final time for adjustment.

Rear end about done. Trimming it up a bit. I have added in my 370z rear fog light. Fills the empty void that was in the Nismo bumper. The rear lighting on the car will be absolutely crazy red and bright.
