zr2 flares for my 4dr

87c10slammer · 02-14-2009, 06:49 AM

what do you guys think the zr2 flares would look like on a 4dr jimmy... i am relitively good with fiberglass and could probley cut and make them work with my rear doors but is that the only thing to worry about... they wheel openings look alot larger on the zr2 or are my eyes just playing tricks on me at 6am... any one ever attempt to do that or have some pictures of the end result... it seems fairly easy if the opening match up.... just a matter of fiberglassing and smoothing out... tell me what ya think.. im open for sugestions... i am pretty sure they dont make a flare big enough that i will like... i may just get the 2dr ones that have the screw pockets in them and go from there... i just dont wanna waist the money on something that will look stupid... it certaintly will help me pass inspection with my meaty tires sticking out in the front

youll have a problem mounting in the wheelwell area.
in the front just swap out to the zr2 fenders & then youll have no problems of mounting in the front.
as far as the back wheelwells you might be able to rig something to mount them.

Re: fender flares

they are different. i got a pic of a Z fender, ill show you the lip

so i would assume the same lip would be on the back of a zr2 also
