Default Flared fenders for C-3s

I'm good at reading, but less than great at computers. Therefore, I tried, unsuccessfully, to grab a link, but for anyone interested in flared fenders for a C-3, check out the 'carsandparts.com' website. About half way down the page, there's a link to an article on these.

NOTE: these are "flared fenders", not tack-on flares.....

Josh is a regular at digital, I believe he gets about $1200 for a set of (4) fenders opposed to a $600 for a set of GM style L-88 flares from ACI or Mid-America, the flares on my car are molded in but if I ever did it again I might just use the bolt on GM style ala Doug Rippie below.

Clever way to skirt the non supporting vender advertising rules....

I am doing the bolt on style I like them better than the cookie cutter flares, and they give the old school road race look I desire.

There is a seller on ebay with very nice L-88 flares not "tack on"
But made on the fender, they are only 650 OBO for a set of 4...1/2 the price of some....

I have also seen the L-88 tack ons for 150.00 a pair on craigslist...so many options out there...
