The difference is in the execution, plus stance. Not present here

I think you made your opinion known.. Twice in fact. The fenders are 370Z specific, NOT generic.. As far as suspension I am on Airlift suspension, so I have that covered thanks.

I don't hate it, but don't love it either. Nismo's have awesome curves already, it'll kinda be like Beyonce getting a azz injection............ WHY???

Lots of haters I guess.. To each their own

Carbon Signal is a completely different look than I was going for. I wanted the ZG style fender flares. The theme of my car is a throwback to the S30. CS fender flares are more of a LW style. As I've repeatedly stated I wanted to do something different. Not something that has been done on a bunch of Zs. Nothing against CS or Nikko, I just wanted to be different. As far as buying cheap flares, well they are the only company that I found that made ZG style flares for a 370Z Nismo.

Were the OEM fenders cut under those flares? Looking at this work I actually have to ask

You can laugh people off as "haters" but you can't ignore the factual observations. That black sealant looks unevenly applied

its always hard to see how nice cars are until you see them in person but its looking pretty good! Thanks for posting!
Of course if everything was molded that would be more sick but of course that cost $$$$$.

Money wasn't a factor. This build was not cheaply done. Everything was done for a purpose. I built this car for myself, it was built with a theme in mind. I wanted to mix styling of the classic 240Z with my modern Z. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, and I can appreciate that. I wanted to be different. I love wide bodies (this is my second). I had a fully custom 240sx previous to owning either of my Z34s. That build was also a love it or hate it affair. I've seen several SEMA 370Z cars this year that have had different variations of ZG style fender flares, including Chris Forsbergs. My fenders are in fact cut and welded, and are completely functional. The best image I have been able to come across (after developing my concept) is this for my styling idea. Like I said it's not for everyone. Just thought some people may be interested in different wide body builds outside of Nikko and Moonbeam.

So not only do they look cheap, they are also extremely overpriced

Pretty much feel how others have already said, the rear is decent but the front just hangs down too low and doesn't really flow.
