Default Help with photoshop please: ZG flares on 951..

I like the GT2/Broadfoot fenderflares, but I think the original ZG flares from a Datsun 240/260 might be even better on a 944. I have searched but not found any with a the flares. Only this drawing:


Does anyone have a 944 with these or similar flares? Could anyone photoshop an example so I could se how it looks?

My car:


with these flarese?

Cool idea! I actually prefer the full wraparound look of the first pic, but the Datsun flares aren't too shabby either!

I'm not sure if it's a plug'n'play mod since at least on merged image it seems that the wheelarches and bumpers have different shapes between those two...

here's what I came up with (dual-wheels to show you that i did bother to make sure the scale is exactly the same for the two images instead of merging them only to make it look good)

Super. Thanks for the effort!.
I actually thought that the ZG flares would be more suttle than the Broadfoots but it look like I was wrong....
Refpotsirk: Am I asking too much if I ask for having the flares in body colour and white wheels.?...

Here is the Broadfoot with body colored flares..

With the box arches on the 944, a more squared-off flare might work. Google "Torana A9X flares".

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mikey
I found a 924 with the A9x flares on the 924board.org. Interesting...

I'm definitely not the pro-photoshopper here - but let me try...

there you go:




EDIT: click on the images, because for some reason they were resized here on the forum, and it doesn't look good this way

I think these flares are pretty similar but the owner has way more fiberglass work.. I personally like the round flares but also enjoy the broadfoot.
