I have often thought that flares on my 280zx would look really nice, and help tuck some larger tires under it while lowered. I haven't come across anything though.

I had sent an email to Jim Cook Racing about the flares, but never received an answer. So I have no idea how much they are, or what they look like installed. Has anyone seen a pic of a 280ZX with the JCR flares mounted?

Yup. It's always better to call during business hours Pacific time.

I've only seen one set of flares on a ZX that looked worth a damn and that was last Sunday at the Z meet in Pleasanton, CA.

Ice brought a friend of his that extended the fenders on his 280ZX by cutting the lip off the edge and installing about 2" of metal and welded the lip back on. It was the cleanest, smoothest flare job I've seen on a ZX. Most ZX flare jobs I've seen look like bolt-on crap.

Here's the only picture I've found so far:

Hehe, I took some close up shots of those flares when I was there this weekend. I'm told the owner did it himself too. @_@

I don't know the price for the flares, but the big bore kit is I believe $1800.
