would that be an overfender or a smaller piece?
also if I may suggest. I'd like to see something like the 6666 customs kit, example below, but the fenders/quarterpanels would be one solid piece and not so aggressive. Since the S14 is a bit wider, I think it would look good with this type of look. It would mainly be the angle of the wheel wells and how much it would extend the arch.

Urethane maybe. Metal is gonna be really hard, if not impossible. Fiberglass is gonna be the cheapest way.

That would be a smaller version of my over fender, One like the render and the other is one that covers the whole QP.
Rocket bunny has their own unique style. I don’t plan on coping it. It would just be easier to buy their kit and modifying it. Why would I go through all this to look like rocket bunny’s kit?
But I am thinking about the polyurethane but I need to make a prototype out of fiberglass just to see how everything looks.

Thanks for your input!!!

Haha I know, when i first started to draw it in the program, it looked ok. The line came out too aggressive when i scaled it.. It was supposed to be subtle. When I start shaping the foam it will come out less aggressive.
The Frs has no line like that, it's just the fender edge cutoff to the side skirt. But I think it will look good on the s14 just cause that area is empty.

ive been trying to draw that r/b ft86 style to a 180sx. it wont mesh unless i did something drastic like a porsche headlights reamimiya style that changed the line flat pop-ups.

we'll see guess..

Hey so I knew I wouldn't properly be able to get my idea across so I made a quick sketch. this is based on another zilvians car but i just flared the arches to sorta match the angle of the 6666 customs kit. I was just talking about the arches and not the whole kit.

haha thanks, Correct me if I'm wrong but when you say "arches to sorta match the angle of the 6666," the angle is the fender lip to the stock body right?

I have the angle i want already and if i understand your correctly, you'll like it. But the reason why I don't like flares is it leaves so much empty area. Your sketch is amazing. I wish i can sketch like that.

the angle I'm referring to is the 45degree angle on the fenders, in the pic.

not sure what you mean by empty area, but with flares or over fenders you would have to cut out the wells to fit the wider wheels. So the tire should fill out the wheel well.

Man, props to you for seeing this through. Many come through Zilvia with the talk, but none ever did anything.

I didn't subscribe earlier cause figured you would flake from this project, you got a subscriber in me! Good luck!

Walperstyle · 04-08-2013, 02:14 AM

He's not seen it through just yet.

If you are making a 1 off kit, you won't be the first. Anyone remember the kid with the widebody S14?

If you want to do it right, you will make molds out of aluminum so you can mass produce. ...however, It does have to look good, and you have to sell quickly.

240 owners are cheap, and the trends change every week with these fanboys. On this website specific, there is about 5 real 240 guys... the rest are followers.

Thanks dude!!!

TIME FOR SOME UPDATES!!!

So I didn’t get my fender because they were shipped back to my house due to and address problem. So I don’t have my fenders. I knew I needed to start on something while I finish designing the rest of the car.
The first thing that came to mind was the trunk lip/spoiler.

Here is some pics on what’s going on.

I still need to finish the foam support beams so i can fleece it and fiberglass it. But hopefully you get the idea.
