Sounds pretty :shock: :shock:

Yea i figured a BFH would get that kind of result, but if you were to roll it with a section of piping (pipe held in hand and sitting ontop of tyre then car is rolled back and fourth to get the desired effect) it could produce a better/smoother flare?

I'd still prefer a set of tuckin flares but that would require cutting of the stock ones so the tyres dont rub, cause if your getting flare you need massive width/offset to fill them up, right! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Just not too keen on the huge price tag i'm expecting :frown: :cry:

I might see if some local shops have anything similar or that would coomplement the 5 well. Seen some hot flares on an AE86 from streeter by streeter i belive.

I'll let everyone know if i get around to it.

Tuckin99 make some understated flares for NB, only $560 a set ex-Japan. I think Rdst3r managed to source some Tuckin99 parts via www.jdmyard.com.au so I'd imagine that they should be able to sort out a set of Tuckin flares for you also.

BTW Tuckin also do some drool-tastic flares for NA:

...as well as the huge old N2 Mazdaspeed flares for NA:

If we end up doing a group buy I think I'd be in for a set of the smaller NA flares :D


Just resurrecting this dead thread... who's interested in purchasing some flared guards?

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I think they are 9in wheels with a zero offset.[/img]


Anyone know where you would be able to get head lights like that from?

Does anyone know what flares I have? The closest I can guess are KG Works but not 100% sure as I didn't put them on.
