i think our third gen camaros, or trans am's would look great with fender flares similar to these fabricated on them. anyone wanna give their view about it? i need some input.

 

I think your're right. Didn't the old IROC series run third gen camaros? They would have had some good looking flares.

 

I argree ...it would look good...I'm in the middle of my body work...and ic I could find some ...I would get them...

 

It would need to be custom, I think there may haveb een kits around at one point but i doubt they looked that great.

No flares



Now THIS is a flare... (Brian Hobaugh's '73 Camaro)

 

I am thinking about doing something like this for my 87 because my jongbloed wheels will not tuck under. Already got a spare set of front quarters. I may try and do them in fiberglass.I have created my own flares and mold for a C3 corvette before...they came out good. I also have a mold for C3 corvette L88 flares, I may try and pull a piece off it and see if it can be made to fit...those are WIDE flares

 

Maybe you should take a look at these
They add an inch and a half more tire clearance
the cover my 17X11 rims with 335 rears and 285 front with no rubbing.

 

 

Those are pure **** and apparently derhaag offers them...haven't dared to ask what they cost yet...fear of sticker shock

 

I remember seeing a fabrication in another forum, lemme see if I can find it...

Edit, here you go...

i did a rough sketch so i could keep all factory gfx for the car so here it is

 

I have a car with flares...so here's what it will look like....

 

That's an interesting look. Did you fabricate the flares yourself or is that a commercially available kit?

 

That was a kit available in the 80s, from Contempo Vans. A take-off kit just sold recently. There's actually a whole car on eBay now, a 1986 V6 Sport Coupe for sale

 

While it looks good, I don't think they'll get the over $7K they are looking for it?

Also it states that it has GM "special effects". I guess that you can't believe everything you read on ebay.

 

not enough flare for me though.

 

I doubt they'll get that for a V6. And it did sell at the dealer that way, so it came direct from a dealer!

looks like someone rattle canned the bottom of this poor car gloss black

 

I understand that it came from the dealer that way but I've also seen Chattanooga Choo-Choo conversions on a new car dealer's floor and I wouldn't call them GM "Special Effects". I guess I would differentiate between factory installed and dealer installed options. and you're right about the V-6.

 

I totally agree with you. I was just being scarcastic with their GM "Special Effects" comment...

 

Got it!

 

not the best pic.

 

Lol, awesome stuff...ya gonna lov my thread, I cut my fenders officall tomorrow...gonna flare first then pull fenders for rims. Should be cool.

 

I would love to see a set of fender flares for thirdgens. I tried fitting the ones from my e30 against the trans am and they were no where close to covering the entire fenderlip.

 

*insert Office Space joke here*

 

do you have a link for these
