Can it be done? I've hear of people doing it as it is damn hard to find flares for R32's.

I believe most of them are a modified version of the 240z/260z bolt on flares

I was actually going to say "except r31's" but didn't :P

The r32 onwards have too much a "modern" shape to suit rat rod old school bolt on flares.

The whole bolt on look gives me that aura of old rat roddish non clean style.

But having hugely flared guards like skylrk i can understand because it looks like the body, but you really need the overall "look" to pull off bolt on flares.

What the hell is this 'rat rod' naming, are you guys making things up as you go along ???

KPGC10, KPGC110 and S30ZG all had bolt on over fenders as standard items since the early 70's and wasn't an influence from rat rodding, it's an influence from the race models

Also an odd interpretation from the cars that raced in the 70's/80's

Like Astorey said, it's more the look of bolt on guards that give it a ratty look these days.

Depends on the overall styling of the car however.

I don't know how else to explain it :thumbsup:

Yeah i'm not saying rat rods use them because they don't, but the whole vulgar rust dump look of bolt on flares gives off that aura of idontgiveafuckwhatyouthinkimbadassasfuck
