    people thought miata tires were too skinny

    tuckin 99 decided they knew how to fix that.

    They made the N2 flares..

    People were happy and bought them.

    Actually they are remakes from the factory Japanese only Mazdaspeed Parts that are no longer in production. Back then they had the N2-Race version that included the front integrated chin spoiler, and the Gymkhana version which to me looks more like the Tuckin99 OverFenders.

    If you look in the '97~'98 Mazdaspeed catalog you will see all of the parts listed along with the Mazda part numbers for ordering.

    Check the Mazdaspeed thread started here;

    NoPro has a set as well but the front fenders blend into the front bumper, where as the Tuckin99 Over Fenders, and Mazdaspeed Gymkhana OverFenders are a stand alone setup.

    I still have all my old Mazdaspeed Catalogs, pretty sure most of it is in the Mazdaspeed thread in the (members only) viewable sections of this forum, look under the Far East Section.

    Hey Samulis, yeah should have mentioned that the tuckin 99 n2 arches are direct replicas of the mazdaspeed models. I'm on my iPad right now but think I may have some mazdaspeed files on my laptop for work so will check in morning and if I do let you know. Cheers James.
