I've thought about them ALOT. Looks like our fender arch is quite large, and the NA/NB miatas i've measured are a good 3 inches smaller at the widest point. I was originally looking into fitting some Autokonexion flares. Also looked into the J's offering, and they're always on EF/EG/DC cars... which are also a smaller cut. So, i'm looking into some 240Z VG fender flares... might be someone local who has a pair to see what the fitment looks like. I'm ONLY interested in doing the fronts.

I feel like the fronts should at least flare as much as the rears. I wouldn't mind a wide body fit with it low to the ground too. Its amazing the how much different it looks when lowered. At least to me.

so there is some interest then....which is good. i'm gonna have to ask around town here and see what people have or think. ill have to take a look at the 240 VG flares....to see what you mean.

something different but mainly cuz i just like a flared wheel well. i may flare my fenders myself when i roll my fenders more this spring...nothing crazy, but a bit more flare. i'd love to have a set that would give me a "wide" body line. along with that, the rear is my main concern.....as it goes in a bit compared to the front....same as my 5th gen civic hatch. i'd really like to have a front fender like the spoon s2000 cuz i just think its awesome looking. lol

Good news is patience pays dividends, as both sides of my fenders are "flared" just a hair and perfectly symetrical I'm happy, as my 225s fit underneath them now

You really can't tell from the pics, but here she is:
Wheel specs are 15x7.5 +42. Tires are Hankook Ventus RS-3 225/45/15.
-2* camber in the front, and no fitment issues whatsoever. Lowered on Bilstein PSS coilovers.

Gah the black contrasts with the white so much that I can't really see anything. I can't even see where the wheel stop and the tire begins and then where the tire stops and fender well begins lol. Interesting side mirrors btw. And what tint % are you rocking? I'd say 15% if I had to guess.

tint % is 20. 15 was just too dark for my taste. I live out in the booneys, and i'm already afraid i can't see trees and fence posts when i back up at night
And yeah, everybody knows me by the MR mirrors I still have the original white set in case i ever want to go back. The idea behind it was pro racing, if a team has multiple cars with the same color/livery. They usually have different color mirrors or windshield banners so they can tell a difference between sister cars at a glance (aside from numbers of course).

For instance, check the list of cars from this years 24h of Daytona:

See the 2 Turner BMWs at the bottom? They look exactly the same except the color of the mirrors
The #67 and #68 Porsches also have different colored mirrors, wing end plates, and fog light covers.

I've gotten alot of comments on the mirrors... both good and bad. BUT, people always know it's me from the mirrors alone so they're doing their job
