Default eckler's fender flares

Has anyone used these? Could you post a picture of what they look like mounted?

That is what I was thinking but the ad says 2 inches wider than stock. The ones that I have seen like the vid look wider

Default he he

Thanks!

Looks like the guy modded the rear fender flares to the front. Cause the Eckler front flares are quite short...Lame in my opinion. Im pretty sure he just bought an extra set of the rear flare and did some sweet custom molding.

*And in the video, the owner of that Vette is in Germany. Who knows what type of aftermarket goodies they have over there with the Euro-snobs?!! *

These are the ZL-1 flares by Eckler's. This view shows the clearance. I actually cut them and widened them after the initial install. also installed the front flares that go with them.

Not sure what you mean by short, but these are the front flares. After the install I did add 3" to the bottom of the flares, but that was to align to a spoiler and sidepipes.

I just can't leave anything original.

So they have the "mudflaps" as opposed to the L88 flares that do not.
