Default FRONT Fender Flares

I have been considering a set of fender flares for a while now and decided to do a search on them. It seems that the only threads and pictures posted on here have been for rear fender flares.

Will you please post pics of FRONT fender flares and discuss what size wheels and tires fit?

Thanks

Yeah I would like to see a car with them on too. Mid America has them for sale now, in a set of both front and rear. Really cheap too. My only question is, WHY ISN'T THERE A FRONT FLARE FOR 80 -82.

The ones sold by MAD for 500$ are the ACI L88 flares for 68 & 69 vettes.

I think they can be made to work for later body style too, the rear fenders on the 78+ C3 is a tad wider than the old one, and as we all know the front fender/bumper shape is completeely different. I'm gonna give it a try since I absolutely need the flares.

I like these:

Sent you a IM, can't post non supporting vender. I thought you might be interested. They have a 800 number, so it would be free to talk to them. :seeya
