when I put on the flares on my ride. the black annodized ccw's will be on my ride.

Primarily cause I am looking for 17x12 and 17x10, and they are very affordable for completely custom wheels.

well its all about steps. To get flares, so I can get wheels, I need money first. And to get money, I gotta get out of the army. Also I gotta not buy my wife new living room furniture.

But I am gonna put on some 4" rear flares, and 2" front flares which I believe is your standard ZL1 flares. 335s in the rear and 275 or 285 in the front on 17x12 and 17x10.

I dont have any pictures of anything really. But I can take pictures of my sidedraft carbs and turbos if you want....

WOW!! very very nice!! Can you buy the flare and have a body shop mold it in? I like how the flare isn't the glued on.

Do you think a 80 c3 would look good with flares?

An 80 C3 would look about like this. However, this is actually my 68 with updated bodywork...check doors.



The flares on 69MYWay and my car were supposedly molded of an original Corvette racecar flare. For a few years they were a dealer option along with the sidepipes.
