Has anyone done there own custom fender flare? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey, I'm building my 510, and I need just a mediocre fender flare. A fender roller won't suffice. I have ZG flares, but unfortunately I am not a fan of them anymore. With that being said, has anyone in general done there own fender flare/wide body? Please post pictures below and advice would be appreciated.

My approach will be using sheet metal, my quarter panel is already cut so I can't just cut and extend the arch anymore. Stay on topic please, yes I can pay a body shop hundreds of dollars to do it for me, or I can learn and have fun in the process.

Example below, the arch is flared a bit.

Bill Brinkworth did his own set of flares for his 240z.
Nothing but good stuff to be said about him.

Here is his facebook, and some photos

Thanks for the positive replies guys. I was expecting troll posts, and the usual "search search search". The ironic thing is when you search, the first posts that show up is a post that tells you to search. And then you keep searching, and that next one is "search". Then finally after digging into like 12 pages of google you find what you need lol.
