Not your average Nismo widebody

Thanks to Sergio@3rd Gear Customs in Temecula CA. For those that may not be feeling the Nikko or Moonbeam.

Wow! Nice work!

You or the builder at SEMA?
If so, what the booth number?

Builder will be, car wasn't completed in time for SEMA unfortunately

You took your car from WA to Temecula?
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

OptionZero · 10-30-2016, 08:17 PM

agreed above - the flares don't track with the natural curve of the wheel arches

God-Speed · 10-30-2016, 09:02 PM

I agree with the other two. But I do like it, it just needs to be fine tuned on the flares.

JerryDeluxe · 10-30-2016, 09:05 PM

It looks cool but I'm not feeling the fronts, it covers the top of wheel.

OptionZero · 10-30-2016, 10:31 PM

Oh, and the black rubber sealant going around the arches . . . not straight, totally messy

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

This, I really don't like the bolted on look. Looks like some guy just gots some wood screws and drilled the fenders on in about 2min. On a Jeep Wrangler or something like that would fit the look of the car but not a Z. But it's your car and not mine.

nis350 · 10-31-2016, 05:14 PM

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.

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.

shika805 · 10-31-2016, 12:02 AM

The rear is not bad at all. The front looks a little too low for me. They looks like my 240Z fenders. Nice work tho.

OptionZero · 10-31-2016, 02:21 AM

Multiple companies make generic arched fenders like that

The difference is in the execution, plus stance. Not present here
