• 100% Brisbane Made: Proudly manufactured at our Coopers Plains workshop. Thank you for supporting Australian manufacturing!
• Hand Laid Structural Integrity: Unlike cheap chopper gun imports, our Hand Laid process ensures consistent panel thickness and a superior strength-to-weight ratio.
• Durability: FRP is 100% rust-proof. As a "thermoset" material, it maintains its rigid shape under the Australian sun, resisting the warping common in plastic parts.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

These are high-quality aftermarket FRP components. For a professional finish, the following workflow is required:

• Pre-fitting: Always test-fit the flares to the chassis "dry" before any modification, sanding, or painting to check alignment with the body lines.
• Professional Adjustment: Minor sanding, trimming, or heat application may be necessary to achieve a perfect fit on classic steel bodies. Drilling of the guards and flares is required for mounting.
• Preparation: Requires professional sanding and priming before painting to match your vehicle paint code.
• Expert Fitment: We strongly recommend installation by a qualified body shop experienced in FRP products to ensure a professional finish.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are these based on the 240ZG flares?
These follow a similar wide-body aesthetic but provide significant extra width (4cm front / 8cm rear) to allow for modern wide wheel and tire combinations.

What mounting hardware do I use?
Most Z-car enthusiasts use stainless steel rivets or "nut-certs" with Allen-key bolts for a clean, mechanical look. Hardware is not included.

What is the difference between Hand Laid and Chopper Gun?
Chopper guns spray random glass strands, leading to brittle sections. Our Hand Laid process manually layers glass mats, ensuring a better resin-to-glass ratio and higher impact resistance.

Does it come painted?
No. It arrives in a raw gel-coat finish. It requires standard preparation, priming, and painting by a professional to match your vehicle perfectly.
