looks like a daddy RX7

It looks like they might've based them off of a stepside, they're slightly different though, from what I can see at least.

For those guys it's obviously easier to just make one than it is to build a world class racing car out of junkyard truck fenders.

Look through that site and you'll see those dated "styling" cues through a lot of them.

This is the way it should be done..but I don't know if I'm digging it.

Actually looks pretty sweet, not wider or actually flaired out just the shape of the fender lips are changed...if it is glaired at all, not much.

Def a modern look compared to the LeMans pics

Time to bring this thread back to life! Anyone worked on their own flare projects?

i gave up on my first idea. i am going to be doing metal flares welded on most likely some time in the future because my rear quarter fender lips r rusted to hell, and also because my wheels rub the fenders hard when i hit a bump. here is a transmaro with widebody fenders that im going to model mine after. http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/09/...h-cambird-z06/

I was kind of thinking about going with a 4th gen rear end and getting something like this to make the whole car a little wider. Use spacers on the front, might look cool. Any idea if someone has done this?

mac86

iTrader: (1)

Just look at the car in the link that i posted 3 posts back ish

CatmanFS

I really like how the front of the car has the full ground fx but it kind of morphs into the exhaust and goes back to stock toward the back.

Did anyone here think of 3d printing...Once you have right measurement on computer,next step is to press print...

olss

like this. 4 months of body work and now with 6.5" backspace im go on hoosier 28x14.5r15 =)

plum92_camaro

Nice! I thought kit looked familiar. Wasn't a big fan of it before but it looks pretty good on your car, cool thing is, I also have a purple haze 92! It's like a preview of what mine would look like!

olss

yes and make rom for 6.5" backspace give you rom for 28x14.515 MT tires =)

plum92_camaro

Any idea how much wider that kit is over shock fenders? I would just like to fit 18x11's with 315/30r18's easier.

olss

2.5" rear 2" front im chance rear fdenders same so get it
2.8" wider rear. but 28x11.5r16 did im go on my rs camaro orginal om the 8" wide orginal rim. was no problem? the chrome wheel are 315x20r20

I was playing around with some flares and quarters I have lying sround for c3 and c2 corvettes. These are mudflap design c3 front flares. I like the similarity of the fender lip. If I pull a mold and duplicate them, cut off the mudflap design rear and graft them to flow into the original panel they should look good. I'm going to do this on my red 87.



I'm sort of aiming for this



Notice the wheels. I have very similar jongnloeds just 17s. May coat the barrels black

Has anyone ever thought about using something like this?

Here are my flares. 2inches on each side ...

hokis

did you make them?

morrow

No. They are danko fenders . Slightly modified though to stretch out to 2 inches on each side. My front track width is also 4 inches wider over all

rb85TA

Hopefully, this next year (2016), I'll be underway on my build. ... I drive a truck & am on the road 95% of the year, so my chassis & cage will be done by RaceFab ( Rusk,Tx.).... then off to Hyper Formance in South Carolina. Shelly (Hyper Formance ), will be transforming my 85 TA into my dream/vision. I really don't want to post a picture of it until it's done ( would REALLY **** ME OFF, if someone with more time & money built it before I can! ).

My vote would be for the whole Ken Block look, not a fan of the wide body look but the flairs are cool!

rb85TA

Yes, BLOCK is a BAAAAADDD MAN!

83RDRACR

here is my front flares. Didn't want to go with a generic flare even though it looks good on the 2nd gen. Also morrow's fender looks real good too. Tried to keep it looking as "stock" as possible. I cut factory flare from fender but left it attached at the belt line. Flare is pulled out 1 1/4" from fender.





filler panel mimics OE shape and angle pretty well.




The gap behind the wheel opening is from sectioning the fender and moving the wheel opening 5" forward. Also current tire is 275/40R17 on 17x9 w/6"bs. Track day will use 18x10.5 wheels w/7.5 bs and 315/30R18 tires.

that is looking TIGHT SON!!!!!.. this will be a fun one to watch! keep em coming.
