Datsun 280ZX Custom Flares Paint & Install!

In this video, we paint and install our custom flares on our Datsun 280zx. I'm so happy with how this thing is turning out. Next week we're beginning the turbo install, I can't wait!

Can’t wait

Rookie Mike is learning, growing and maturing! Definitely gold over black

[@itsmikelake]

Haha slowly getting better at the things 😅. Agree!

[@tylerluttrell123]

Definitely keep them gold! Love the look of the new flares 👌🏼

[@Anderson_Motorsport]

I thought it was mint before but it now looks sooo much better with those flares. Looks a million bucks. Loving the fitment on it. The gold wheels looks dope. It Makes it pop and stand out.

[@jdsbuilt9651]

They look sick

[@Thehardout]

Where did the flares come from? I've been looking for something better on my ZX too.

[@maxlagewaard8959]

I like the gold centre on the wheels. Makes the car look more unique. Black would just look plain

[@kalebmcelhinney532]

Colour match the wheel centres with the car. Bayside blue centres 🤔 just a thought.

[@sambelyea3965]

If you did bumpers and wheel centers the same colour as flares that would be too clean! (I know I said it on ur last video, I'm not trying to be rude or anything lol)

[@friendlyweapon7880]

I really like the gold and blue mate

[@itsmikelake]

Cheers yo! I love it too. Also love drinking baileys from a shoe 😍

[@friendlyweapon7880]

Haha get in too it big fella 🤙

[@MegaMadmax1000]

I reckon paint matched flares would look the best, and definitely keep the gold centres!

[@itsmikelake]

I didn’t even think of paint matching them?! Dammit. Haha, I’ll do a photoshop and see how it looks 🤔

[@MegaMadmax1000]

@@itsmikelake yeah bro!! I think itd look way cleaner personally

[@shaunkearns2169]

Thank for your time ❤️😗😗 great video 👍🙂

[@itsmikelake]

Cheers my dude

[@battlegeek8118]

keep the gold, looks good bro

[@itsmikelake]

My thoughts exactly 😁

[@redgumconstructions6654]

Mate!, that rubber trim between the flares and body, where did you source that from. Thanks for your time and excellent work!

[@itsmikelake]

Hey! It’s called ‘P rubber’ and you get it from Clark rubber. Bloody good stuff!

[@just1morecar693]

Love the new flares look heaps better but think matte or semi gloss Black would have looked better but still rad man keen on the turbo kit for it and I like the gold keep up the good content 🤙🏻

[@itsmikelake]

Cheers bro! Was legit thinking a satin black would have been better after I did it 😅. At least it’s not super hard to change 😁

[@haynesconnect2081]

Keep the GOLD

[@ecovention]

Nice job on the new flares. Are the new flares 100mm wide?

[@christiancarino4931]

Where did you order the flares from? Those look like the fit perfectly and just look good in general. I need that.

[@itsmikelake]

These are Holden Gemini fibreglass flares. I didn’t like the look in the end and sold them

[@mastertyreshredder]

White or keep the gold on the wheels 💯🔥

[@itsmikelake]

Oh shiiiittt I didn’t even think of white...but that would look fricken good 😍

[@mastertyreshredder]

@@itsmikelake do it bro 💯🤜🤛

[@michaelromero3648]

how do you find a Cheap project car?

[@itsmikelake]

Search Facebook marketplace every hour for weeks until you come across something you like. You have to be super on to it though haha

[@flynnnugent4012]

I honestly don't mind the gold on the rims

[@itsmikelake]

Agree. Subaru spec but it works nicely

[@darrenpipe]

Looks great. Do you have a link for the flares? Also are 17's too big as an option for the zx? Asking cause I need to change out the rims on mine

[@itsmikelake]

Unfortunately the seller doesn't sell them anymore..Sorry bro! 17's work well on the 280zx. Have a look at my first videos, I had the 17x10 Rota wheels on mine.

[@darrenpipe]

@@itsmikelake no problem. Thank you

[@slydogg0068]

Deft black out the chrome. And mirrors.

[@itsmikelake]

Yeah I want to get the mirrors powder coated 😁

[@monkeymsea01]

Black wheels are shit .. always.. spend all your money on wheels and not look any different to steelies on a au falcon.

[@itsmikelake]

HAHA. Telling it like it is. Love it

[@eriqrosado3337]

No please don’t paint/powder coat the wheels BLACK! 🤮 just please don’t? The gold looks just right on the bayside blue. If you do change it please no Blk! Or even no dark colors it takes away from the whole car when you can’t see the wheels they just look like Blk wholes 🤮🤮
