Depends on the look you desire...there is L-88 in bolt/screw/glass in, which are the road race look.
^^^ Going on my car...
The L-88 was to cover race car tires for the rules but allow the fenders to get snad blasted on a street car...I plan to run this style in screw on.
Next is the refined and nice looking ZL-1 an Ecklers idea, made on the fender they are easier to install and at least one ebay vender sells on the fender L-88 for 650.00 OBO.
This is a better flare for the street due to the way it's like an enlarged stock flare with kick out to keep road crap from beating up the car...it gives a nice custom look yet still has a racy feel...
Oops,
The mod isnt hard the easiest is the screw on then the flares built on the fenders, Ecklers sells them as does ebay and Craigslist....

Please tell me that's not fiberglass on your face.... I've enjoyed hanging my own and the learning process. Wish I would have done a few things differently, but I learned. I really dread when I have to fire up the air sander and have to sand areas I glassed in. I itch for the next 24-48 hours.

Had me itching just looking at that. I put about 3 layers of clothes on with a mask, goggles and a big face shield and still find fiberglass on my skin.

***JOKING***** OH....come on fellas....fiberglass dust exposure to the skin isn't THAT BAD...once you get used to it....and that is the weird part...eventually you will get used to it.
****SERIOUSLY**** The BAD PART is when I am grinding like crazy and it is in the summer...and I can feel the sweat rolling down my back under my Tyvek suit....and even though I have a fresh air hood on....I envision the micro fiberglass particles getting to places that I feel I do not need to mention.

So, it does not have to be that bad.

Yes, that's fiberglass. That is from when I was inside the fender well I spent a lot of time making the seams underneath look good. It was not necessary and nobody sees it but it seemed like the right thing to do. Usually you can direct the dust from the grinder away from you. But when you are tucked up inside a wheel well if you direct it away it just bounced back and hits you anyway. Fiberglass does not seem to bother me too much anymore so I just went for it. If it bothered me I would probably have just skipped that part.
So, it does not have to be that bad.

Give Brent's restauration thread a read for good measure, he's done an equally awesome job.
