Soooo it looks like autokonexion is out not doing business anymore, their website is down and FB hasn't been updated since 2015. I at least need a drivers rear flare. I would buy a whole set if I had to.

Also since you guys rock, if there is an equivalent you could suggest that would rock. I've been focused on go fast parts for so long I forgot who makes good flares and such.

You've got a handful of jdm suppliers but you'll pay out the nose (but you may actually receive them lol)

I am partial to tuckin99 because it reminds me of old 240z race cars.

EDIT: No wheel really works on these though, expect the contingent 15x12 with 295 hoosier possibly.

His car is an NB. Don't worry, you didn't miss reading anything this time.

15x10 245/40 would work ok with the Tuckin99/Rharris copies on an NA though.

I'm in same boat as OP, except i kindof need/want complete rear overfenders. Everything for an NB looks like hot garbage.

Tuckin99 apparently now has small flares that don't look bad, but they cost $TEXAS. NoPro has huge flares that i like, but they cost $TEXAS and i'm not sure what sort of wheels would "work" with them.

This is so lame. If I had a flare I might could copy it?

I just sold a set of my NA Autoconnexion flares. CR tried to convince me that they were worth about $40

I believe CarbonMiata makes flares. No sure if they make them for NB, but I've seen their NA flares on a car and they looked very good. To a point where they had an indent molded in to fit with an indent on a body line of the car, The owner was very impressed with quality. So, you might want to hit them up and see The guy there (he's in China) seems to be very open to custom projects as well.

Yeah CM might be an option. I have personal issues with Marc, but it at least seems like when you give money to him, you receive parts in return in a reasonable time frame.

My flares took an annoyingly long time to surface, but I also ordered them during CNY.

My Carbon Miata rear finish panel fit like JUNK. The stock t-bolts wouldn't even fit, only the license plate bolts are keeping it on and even then, the trunk rubs it. Hopefully since flares are more outboard, interference wont be as big an issue. Locals here find it hit or miss with their trunks. One curled at the tips causing the trunk to have a bowed appearance fore to aft.

Grains of salt with this stuff....and that shipping....might as well get all your carbon miata needs on one order.

My CarbonMiata trunk was hot garbage. I got the curled tips treatment and the 3rd brake light hole was hysterically bad.

But again... people seem to get things delivered when they give him money. So i'm going to call that a win over AK.

So am I seeing an opportunity for MKCarbonFiber?

Can you start with VVT Timing belt covers?

Whoa there, that's asking too much.

iTrader: (4)

Nah, I can send him the covers to create a mold off of. Fender/flares would be from scratch.

iTrader: (24)

I mean its not even like you would have to send them to me. I could just pick it up when I get my red interior. But really I already have 2 or 3 sets of spare VVT timing belt cover plates.

So autokonexion's site is back online and there is some 2017 info on there. I sent a test message to their email, it goes through but their mailbox is full. It might be wishful thinking but I'd love to get a flare from them instead of having to deal with making one or getting a new set from someone else.

I don't have a horse in this, but... why would you want to buy from a vendor that doesn't want to sell?

I've learned about CM issues in this thread, which is good to know, as I've never dealt with them either. But if AK doesn't want to sell their products... imagine dealing with them if there's any sort of a problem after they have your money. Oh, and... why not try to call them?

My main want for the AK flares is because I liked the car with them and since I have 3 on the car it would be easy to get another and call it a day. or even something that might be a clone. They don't have a phone number published that I am aware of, I've been looking pretty hard. Lastly I'm not really sure what other options are worth buying should AK not pan out. I already have cut fenders to support the flares so I need to do something but I'm not sure what quality options there are.

nile13

I'd probably try to have a mold made of the other rear flare you have and make a copy. Not sure that you'll get anything out of AK at this point.
