Default fender flares

I ordered and received a set of flares after viewing this thread. The transaction was quick and smooth.
Thanks AAron.

Coming up, got the camera and going to the race shop today across town. I will take some good up close pictures of the front flares and post them later tonight when back home.

Hey Aaron,

E-mail me pricing would you? I've got time since the new motor spun and is coming out again.

Thanks,

Joe

By the way, anyone know where to get the rear spoiler in the first post? I saw a thread on here a while back but can't find it now.

Yes, on my red 87 Kumho car that is the old GTO GM kit! But I thought Joe ( jwt1603) was refering to Ed's red car with the clear spoiler set up?

My whole GTO kit was bought brand new from GM back in 88 from the original owner and the original receipt says $2,700.00!

Joe, looks like Corvette Central is your ticket for that spoiler. ACI up here by me in Toledo, Ohio makes them. http://www.acivette.com/

I designed and fabricated the rear spoiler in the original post because I could not find anything to fit the rounded rear bumper. The original GTO rear spoiler fits only the early "flat" rear bumber. Mine works in conjunction with a front splitter and air dam I fabricated, and you can feel the effect on a road course.

Default C4 Front Fender Export Flares (New Pictures)

Ok, here are some up close pictures of the front flares. FYI, I do have 335-18 non DOT slicks on the front, so they stick out a little more than normal.

Joe, I also found the brochure that came with my 87 on the GM IMSA GTO ground effects kit, picture below.

All PM's replied to.

I need to clear my PM's before I can contact Aaron, but I will be
writing for more information regarding a complete set of four.

In the meantime, does anyone happen to know whether the
short extensions that continue the flare down past the beltline
on the rear quarters are still available?

Kubs,
Are you saying that for group 3 I can install these flares and trim the opening of my fender wheel wells and be legal? - Or- I can install the flares but cannot trim my wheel well opening? I need to stay in group 3.
Thanks for your input.

Group 3 you can cut, remove, add, lighten... You can do anything flare wise. Only group 2 do you have limits.

You can in fact install these flares and then trim the old fender out.

This doesn't concern me in the slightest (well, maybe it does), but since you're referring to NCCC rules this has piqued my interest. What rules are you looking at? The rule regarding flares is the same for 2 and 3:

2.7.1.7.8 Custom body panels of approximately stock weight or heavier - includes hoods, wings, spoilers, fender flares, ground effects, etc. -->G1S & 1 No, G2 Yes, G3 Yes, RP+ yes of course

Anything lighter (kevlar, carbon fiber), remove inner fenders, removable front end are all No until RP.

Any glassed-in flare installation typically involves removing the stock portion of the fender underneath it, otherwise, you are gaining nothing for tire clearance. Guys have been flaring C2's & C3's in NCCC since they were released, not a single one I've seen (including mine) has left the stock wheel opening intact underneath it. C4+ do not have separate rules for this so I would think the allowance is the same.

I am going by memory. I thought 3 and RP were the same flare wise. I have not needed to look at the rules in a while. Thanks for the clarification.
