Alright guys, I have been thinking about getting some flares for my NB.
I think we should see what options there are out there.
So, let's post them up.
Everything from DIY to purchased flares.
NA, NB, NC, NDs. Mild to Wild. Let's have them all in one place for people to see.
I like the NA Jubiride flares on the NB the best. A few small modifications required.

That silver one with gold wheels really gives me a good idea what mine would look like with flares.
Let's see some NA and NC Miatas too!!!

Oh, has anyone ever ran flares and OEM mudflaps?
Others?
I hate how it's so trendy to have flares now
Got my fender flares back in 2004ish? It was a Pointy board Group Buy from Adrenaline Racing for the Tuckin99 wide flares.Quote:

Can I see some better pics of that to see how far the flares sweep? Which ones are those?
Jubiride..You want to see pics of front and rear?
Front and rear
I think those would work well for your idea KFJ!
Thanks for the pics, TK! Danny, yes. :)

Very nice Tkblazer :bow:
I own a set of R Harris flares, still debating if I will install the flares.
Looks good.

Those are some serious flares. It's so wide!
I'll be at the Mitty!! Too bad there is a 100% chance of rain! :(
Here's how mine looked with jubiride flares, I've changed them out now but kind of miss them <3

Not sure, they come in a weak size (7.5") and this good size. The 7.5" are only 10% cool, where as this 8.5" is 110% cool. (true story)Quote:

Back from the dead! Considering flares for my msm since I damaged the paint on my front fender anyway and no longer mind cutting it up. As much as I'd love the nopro flares for the stock body, they're too damn big and I'd have to modify them to accept the msm aero. I don't like the current carbonmiata flares for the nb, and autokonexion is essentially MIA at the moment. I need suggestions guys
A popular mod in the AE86 community was MK1 Golf flares, which could be adapted. Guess the NB size is more or less close to that, so it *could* be an option.
I'm not sure if you've seen these guys, JDMFLARES.COM
Some guys have used Datsun 240z flares as well

Autokonexion GT Fender Flares. Very attractive IMOQuote:

Love the black fender welting. I'm going to do that on my car when I get around to painting my flares.Quote:

Ive been told panel bond by my local welder buddy. asked him about welded my rear fender skins together and he mentioned just using panel bond.Quote:

I'm leaning toward the Jet Stream flares but I'm a little hung up because the listing on REV9 says it only adds 6mm per side but they sure look like more than that with internet/eyeball measurements. I'm hoping someone has installed a set and could give me a better idea of how much room they do or don't add.

Well... 6mm was probably right. They came in. They add no additional width over my rolled and pulled stock fenders. That's disappointing. (Please excuse the skinnies)
