Not your average Nismo widebody

It is an alternative to the two alright. Much more simple. Can be much better if the flares lined up with the Z's body lines.

I'm in CA on business

These are generic overfenders that were slapped on, not fitted to match the body properly

sorry

the details are just not there

also, why would you go custom widebody without coilovers and wheels to get the look? fitment is not on point

Actually I'm on bags, and the fenders are not generic they're made by Wonder Car-Modify. I haven't updated my signature. Thanks for the opinion though.

yeah. feel the same here.

I do like the wide-body look, but because these are bolted on as extension to the stock fenders, they are too low and covering too much of the tires. Think the worst part is that they don't really flow with the rest of the car. They just look too 'after-market'. Sorry.

its always hard to see how nice cars are until you see them in person but its looking pretty good! Thanks for posting!
Of course if everything was molded that would be more sick but of course that cost $$$$$.

Pretty much feel how others have already said, the rear is decent but the front just hangs down too low and doesn't really flow.

I remember this build, didn't you post this on the 370Z Facebook page?

OP must love sandblasting his fenders... That paint is going to get the **** beat out of it where the over fenders end prematurely...

This is poorly executed in all facets. Sorry but not my cup of tea.

Money wasn't a factor. This build was not cheaply done. Everything was done for a purpose. I built this car for myself, it was built with a theme in mind. I wanted to mix styling of the classic 240Z with my modern Z. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, and I can appreciate that. I wanted to be different. I love wide bodies (this is my second). I had a fully custom 240sx previous to owning either of my Z34s. That build was also a love it or hate it affair. I've seen several SEMA 370Z cars this year that have had different variations of ZG style fender flares, including Chris Forsbergs. My fenders are in fact cut and welded, and are completely functional. The best image I have been able to come across (after developing my concept) is this for my styling idea. Like I said it's not for everyone. Just thought some people may be interested in different wide body builds outside of Nikko and Moonbeam.

I mean if you want nothing but positive feedback ask your parents. I'm giving you my honest opinion. If you're happy with your build, then so be it. I just wouldn't do that to my Z. No reason to get butt hurt over it.
