Would you buy the JDM Customized Proto fender flares?

[Darkhorse]

Flares are 1150 delivered (usd) or in carbon 1800. Cheaper than the artisan spirit that they appear to be copies of. Possibly made on behalf of artisan who can say.

I got my carbon gauge covers from these guys and they seemed pretty good, but they are also a very basic part, hard to screw up. I expect the flares are similar and will be fine from the factory in china.

I'm not sure about screwing up the bodyline with the rear flares, not to mention having to buy more wheels, so I'm going to live without them for now.

DM me if you would like contact info for the factory rep in china

How about these - prime, wrap and M-Spec hardware and I think these could be a very viable option. If car isn't lowered can go big on tire. The price is great.

curious to see if anyone here would like to see those fender flares offered as an oem option and would you purchase them?

discuss any aspect of them

I don't mean to offend...they remind me of something you could buy at Autozone and stick on with 3m tape. And it bothers me that they don't taper on their way to the bottom. And without the decal, they look out of place for sure. I don't even like them on this heritage car.

Kinda get what you are saying. I've been told that the the orange ones will be offered from Nissan with an OE part Number. I think I might go universal and add hardware to mount - semi old school just for the reasons you mention.

I would definitely be on for a set as seen on the orange Z.

Yes, I would as I have now installed the split bumber front clip.

I tried to order the front bumper and grill from Darlings Nissan in Bangor, Maine. The parts guy said that the number was not good. I showed him a picture of what it was but he just shook his head. Never heard of the Heritage edition. Go figure.

Great pics. How much do they actually flare out?

No actually its pretty simple. just get new pop pins to hold down the top cover as they are brittle and break. note where the sensors go .two are relocated and have wire extensions added to reach the new location. that was the only difference and not an issue.
