Hi,

This is my 260z with widebody/flared arches - I think it improves the look of the car. Opinions please?

Thanks Laurie

 

Hi Laurie,

Seeing as you've asked for opinions I can't be wrong Just be prepared for what you ask for.

Personally it is not to my taste, I don't think it enhances the original shape of the car. I much prefer the stock lines of the original car and think that the wheels fitted are too big for the era. In my opinion I wouldn't want wheels any bigger than 16's fitted and 15's with proper rubber generally get my vote. Are the arches functional? (what size are the rear wheels/tyres?).

It looks like the work has been done to a good standard and if you like it then why worry, it's your car at the end of the day and non one else's.

 

I don't dislike it but I prefer standard.
I may be wrong but it appears to have a front strut brace on the rear?

 

nice concept but i have to agree with the others the lines especially where it meets the back of the doors isnt quite as nice as origenal.
that said i like the wheels!
but each to their own, still nice to see another z

 

I'm always interested in wide body cars but with an s30, I'm not sure it works that well. I think its because the rear wheel is just too close the back of the door to get a good enough transmission. The corvettes achieved it by having the door bled well into the arch/quarter from factory.

Just my opinion. Looks great from the back though.
