"natural" Guard Flaring!

[nee-sanRB20]

I tried to keep the guards as stock looking as possible.

The fronts even have the factory crease put back in them! rims are 17x9 +20 with slightly stretched 225/45 all round. Now there is plenty of room ill lower it some more and see what size tyres i can fit.

dang! that DOES look stock!

[alwaysdreaming]

there is no way in hell you can safely run 30mm spacers...

i run 3mm on the fronts just to clear the calipers.

you will need either:

a custom unit

a bolt on set if there is one available

new wheels

lol hahah yeah didnt think it would be.

so if i got a bolt on set then that should be ok?

thanks for your help guys, will have to search around for some.

peace

Yeah pretty happy with it ! nothing too outlandish which is wat i was after.

Yours looks the goods mate. Was wondering what mine would look like with black rims .

Hahaha i run 20mm bolt ons all round, with a 12mm bolt on stacked on the rear, and a 10mm slip on up front.. no ones died... yet.

not as stock as yours lol but im sure you get the idea.still trying to find rimms to fill the guards up.the fronts are still yet to be done

Waza - try to get the crease put into your rear guards before you paint it and that will look sweet

I achieved a similiar result - only I have 18 inch deep dish rims to fill the guards -I will upload pics soon.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

WTF... there is no such thing as a deep dish rim... it either comes in a particular offset or its a f**king pizza

Yeah good luck with that! lol, not sure that would be classed as ''natural'' guard flaring tho...

[Craved]

how do i go about doing that??

looks like glass guards yes ? you would need to spend alot of time adding extra fibreglass along that line, then grind back and use high fill and masking tape to get the sharp line to follow from the front end through the doors and into the guards.

A friend of mine just lipped my r32 rears with a slight flare, came up nice.

we had to cut out some bits of my car, so we decided to have some fun beforehand... thought of this thread and the "natural guard flaring" techniques discussed.

its natural... honest. best results guaranteed.

ahahaha how'd it go? When I tried using a hammer on my rear guards, nothing happened. I also kept hitting the brakes so couldn't really use a larger hammer. Used a pole in the end.

[funkymonkey]

lol i don't think the sarcasm came across well in my post, that you you DON'T flare a guard.

[adam-__-]

Nah, I knew the bashing was for a bit of fun, but did it do anything? Did it start to fold the lip or dent it at all? hahah

It's just that I tried doing that to mine and nothing happened.
