Post Your Fender Flares And/or Aftermarket Fenders

You might have to work your guards to achieve this look, most panel beaters can do this.

You'll need a chat with couple of panel beater and go from there.

Hope it helps.

Alright, maybe try looking at nissansilvia.com forums, pretty sure these guys do this kind of thing to their cars quite often.

hey Kevzilla. great idea moulding STI front guard sections onto your rear quarters. did you cut away the metal from the existing guard that would have been underneath?? how did you clean this up to make it look all smooth inside??

also it looks like you have a GTR front bar but you said your front guards were standard and you just pulled them out a bit.... how did you mount the front bar? looks original too with the plastic bottom lip??

Yer with both front and rear i cut away some of the existing metal because having rims wide enough to fill the guards they will rub against the standard body. The front bar is a genuine GTR with plastic lip...pulling the guards out a bit made the bar sit ok. only problem now is there's a gap between the headlights and the bar because for some reason the gtst guards and bonnet seem to be shorter than the GTR ones.

[Russman]

This is what I ended up getting done.

It's about 1 inch wider at the back and front was a bit less. It's plenty though for the GTR offset (+30) rims and fatter rubber. The paint did crack however so they needed to be touched up.

Pics aren't the best.

u can get some like them i think from tokage on the gold coast ... think they look very similar, they really look good n 32s..

i was thinking guys instead of pricey sti guards why not go to a wreckers n just get honda legend guards

[Spunky Munky]

Any Topstage flares on R33's??? Very interested but wanting pictures. Cheers.

Thanks for that mate... I am so looking forward to getting them done but pictures would be super.

I will PM you now. Thanks again, buddy.

i've uploaded a couple of pics there. i've also included another pic i found of the guards in progress, and also some pics of freddy from topstage at work.

Freddy's design ideas and creativity are amazing. i told him what i wanted, i showed him some pics of some idea cars, and he/we came out with a rough draft of what you see below. There was another final draft after this one that i signed off on and we started working with, but that's just an example for you.

The guards I don't even remember getting done now, it was so long ago and there was so much work going on with my ride that i don't remember how long he took with them. I know the front guards were extremely quick, and he smoothed out the indicator lights seemlessly and waited for after painting to do the grill, but i'm sure you can work this out with him. As for the rear guards, this was a lot of work! the amount of hours of labour that went into them was crazy, but the end result is amazing. it's fibreglass over the metal shell, so i've strengthened my car up with strut bars front and rear and never once has any of the fibreglassing cracked. I guess some things did take some time, but with another daily car it never mattered so i didn't notice.

The best thing about Topstage and Freddy is he is honest and helpful! I've had 3 front bars proir to this custom one and his quality is 100 times better than any previous bar. The costs involved were very competitive, as mentioned i tried 3 previous places and searched the net for days before deciding on topstage. if you wanna see my car at any time, or any specific questions please buzz me anytime.

cheers,

shane

p.s. if your guards are too wide your wheel offset may look a little silly. i've got 4 sets of spacers, the fronts are on all the time but the rears i no longer use due to the tires rubbing because the car sits low. if you want the pair, we can work something out.
