Default Help finding flares

Greetings from Georgia,
I am looking for someone who builds flares or somewhere i can buy good fitting ones. I'm looking for the non mud flap style and will be putting them on a '79. I'd prefer to go with the bigger flares.

I'd love to hear any suggestions or see any pictures anyone has and hear their experiences.

Thanks so much,
John

If you dont want The mudflap or as eckler calls them ZL1 flare you are in luck,

The best price for a L88 style flare is hands down that cat on ebay who sells them for less than 400 all 4 and ask about free shipping,

His are or appear to be molded from the orginal gm l88 flares like the other vendors but he wants to actually sell them and priced them accordingly,

No need to over pay on flares

Ebay guy....

its-fiberglass

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-C...284550?vxp=mtr

Bought a set of rear flares off him just last month. Has the mounting tabs and a good base for modding my 2nd project 1975 car.

Makes them to order and ships fast.
