Terrano757 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hi all, i found this pic on google images (its not my car) just wanting to know if the massive flares were a stock part back in the day or have they been custom made? NOTE- Its a 1988 2 Door R3M Terrano Heres another view of it clean; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 not stock for US models not sure about Terranos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 US spec we either got the chumpy black ones or none, so here... no not stock. I know some places got some cool ones but don't think any got ones that huge so I'm gonna hop out on a limb and say they are aftermarket/made to fit from a different truck/or homemade-custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrano757 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yeah i had a feeling they might be custom, but they do look very cool, i want... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavefromOZ Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 They are stock, but not sure in which market. Have seen them before (pic below) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 The mirrors look huge too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 That's not stock, neither of them which are different. The stock ones are not that big and are 1 piece only. These are stock: What I mean by one piece is: the one that DavefromOZ shows they are cutted on the bottom to fit the finish as they complete the fender even on the back is cutted. This doesn't happen on the stock ones and they are not that thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrano757 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 yeah i see what you are saying, i wonder what car they are originally off, or do you think they are completely custom made?? (not just adapted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoore4512 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Almost...looks too big! My flares are tiny and black...cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I think they are completly custom made for the car, owners taste and fiber glass. Mine are also tiny and black and stock also, there were 2 types, the bigger ones (showed by me) were an extra at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Those ones Dave posted even have the bodyline in them where they cross! (it's there, not just the 2-tone making one "look" to be there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Those ones Dave posted even have the bodyline in them where they cross! (it's there, not just the 2-tone making one "look" to be there) I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrano757 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yeah teixeira, the ones you showed look nice, id probably prefer a set of those to the good ones, and idea how much they cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 They are really difficult to find and tend to be expensive, but time to time on www.eBay.de (german) they have those to bid on. Then you have to see shipping if the seller ships internationally. It's a question of luck and time... or you can see Nissan deallership, it's easier...

Tsingson Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) I think they look too big.....Like it was stung by a bee or something...And swelled up.... Edited June 29, 2010 by Tsingson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasMoore Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi all, i found this pic on google images (its not my car) just wanting to know if the massive flares were a stock part back in the day or have they been custom made? Yeah, they are stock not custom. What you are looking it is the stock flares with rubber trim added as an extension to cope with the big tyres. Check this link for details on how it screws onto the wheel arch. I'm 99% sure this is the story. I threw out my only original flare last weekend, but I can make photographs of my 1990 if you want to see how the rubber flare extensions look. Where are you at in Australia? I have a spare roll of the rubber if you need it. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
