      Google "Datsun Flares". These are the style that came on the "G nose 240 Z" and Datsun 510 rally cars in the 1970s, They have been copied several times over and you can find them from several sources in different sizes.. even in carbon fiber.

      No spitters were I work, you swallow it all. The Company feels if you already have it in your mouth why waste it.

          Here's one:



          And this link shows a Datsun guy fabbing flares using his own original fenders that he cuts, bends out, and fiberglasses:



          Could be an interesting project, no?

              i considered this option but the 240z fenders are WAY bigger than a festiva.

                Those DIY cut-and-fiberglass flares would be awesome for a festiva.

                  Well if he won't give us a discount, at least it'll be a heck of a lot cheaper to ship 30-40 of those stacked together than individually!

                    Those flares look good, but it's just not my tastes

                    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                      just a suggestion.. i'd prefer that the bolt holes transfer under the flare......

                        I would love to get a set. Fill then blend them into the body would look sweet! Those would totally be easy to copy.

                            i could be the devil as well and post these ones.
                            They all seem to be a little too big. Do they make them for the VW Golf, say, MK1?
