joshm35 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 i have a m35 250t rx and have been thinking about doing the flaired guard conversion like on the axis is it? Is it possible with my model and if so what would I need to pull it off. Any info is good info Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358917-flaired-body-conversion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetwreck Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 It's defiantly possible.....Pretty sure the only difference's are that you don't have the holes drilled in the guards from factory for the clips.

joshm35 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Whats the avaliability of the painted fibreglass guards. Id prefer them over the plastic colour code ones. Guess import monster will be my new best friend im guessin Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358917-flaired-body-conversion/#findComment-5733181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daleo Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Why would you use aftermarket fibreglass? I can't imagine the fit & finish would be anywhere near as good as OEM.

joshm35 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 you may have me wrong or I got it wrong. Isnt there 2 different types. The plastic lighter coloured ones and the fiberglass ones that suit the paint type of the cars Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358917-flaired-body-conversion/#findComment-5733250 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daleo Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm pretty sure you'll find that they're both an ABS type plastic, one is textured grey (ARX) and the other is smooth, to take paint (AXIS).

iamhe77 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 There was a full NM35 Axis fibreglass kit on Yahoo, dunno if it is still there. It included the front bar, grill, flares and rear bar. Decent price and the fit looked damn good (had it unpainted on an RS/RX in one of the pics). Would probably be the easiest way of doing it if you can find the auction.

whiteaxis Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for clearing that up daleo. It just looks awesome! Fixed my car so it goes really fast.

zei20l Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'm pretty sure you'll find that they're both an ABS type plastic, one is textured grey (ARX) and the other is smooth, to take paint (AXIS). its probably the same part, you can paint over the textured section and the paint will smooth it out. someone should FAST it!

pbk1776 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 this is the reason why I bought an ARX - when I get the $$$ i will get an axis front bar and rear skirt Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358917-flaired-body-conversion/#findComment-5738711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty nm35 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Dont be a hater I wouldn't be a hater if they served some useful purpose. Perhaps you should have bought an overpriced Axis.
