2G Fender Flare Install

[Phudu2004]

So, what RB kit was it from that you used for your car? How much modification would it need to fit like yours? It's very nice and I want it

Can we see more of your car!?

 

[rival]

yes also interested in which kit it was, I am pretty sure its an frs/brz kit, but looks like version 1 fronts and version 2 rears?

 

[96dsmftw]

Definitely going to need to have more info on the RB adaptation. What size wheel/tire and offset did you fit under there?

 

[rival]

I am going to be attempting this within the month hopefully, was trying to sort out more details myself, but if that doesn't happen, I am just going to go for it

 

[Techn0Nut1996]

+1 for more info on the RB kit! It looks super clean!!

 

[B00stAddictedGsx]

Check out my Instagram and youtube for more photos and info @Lifesabishi the info is there. After that if there are any questions I'll happily answer them once I'm done detailing cars.

 

[B00stAddictedGsx]

Short answer is there's no part of the car you won't have to heavily modify to make this work and it's still not perfect 3 months in.

Did you purchase the car with the RB kit installed or did you do it yourself? I think remember posting in a thread about rear suspension regarding this car.

 

[B00stAddictedGsx]

If by installed you mean scraping on the floor, falling off, missing shit, and unable to turn the wheel because it wasn't fitted properly. Then yes I purchased it "installed".I was lied to about most of the car. The check engine light was even removed without my knowledge.

Oh the joys of people not caring about doing the job right the first time.. I've looked at a couple GSTs and the sellers were clearly hiding issues. It's most of the problem I'm having finding a decent GSX.

Thats why when you buy used cars especially cars as old as ours , be ready to take out your trust fund

I wiped out my life savings if u check out my insta you'll see I'm currently swapping the motor

How much does that flare setup cost?

 

[Black95TSIawd]

Rough guess on what they'll look like. 18x9.5 +45 with a 25mm spacer. My front brake rotors are thicker as well effectively acting like a little spacer. 285/30 tires.

Dang those tires are meaty! Are you gonna color match the flares?

 

[95eclipser]

Which flare kit did you end up buying?

Which flare kit did you end up buying?

I see some people go with Carbonetic, im probably gonna go with them as well

The flares will be painted black to match the talon's two tone color scheme.

Which flare kit did you end up buying?

Carbonetics with the wider rear flares.

 

[Vr4#275]

Well I want to go bigger just not sure how much more I can. I was hoping for 275 but that seems questionable. I plan to run a RPF1 or something comparable.

Do you fit well

I like the way they look

Do you plan on cutting the fenders and then covering with flares to properly fit the 18x9s? Or will rolling be enough? I'm putting in same size for a street build and trying to figure out the best way

You dont need flares for 18x9. I ran that size and 17x9 and they fit fine with 245 or 255 wide tires with aggressive camber and a subtle drop.

I will be cutting my front fenders. Rears will be high enough not to make contact.

 

[joemamma]

looks good been looking at doing some on my car too
