Rear Fender Flares
so who makes some good 4" rear fender flares? And is there anything bigger than the 3/4" front flares from Ecklers?

ACI but get them through mid america cuz they're 100 bucks cheaper there. Their fronts are a tad wider than 3/4", 2" I think but I'm not 100% sure
Showcars bodyparts has pretty wide ones, I never dealt with them and have heard both good and really bad experiences

If you got dizzy, disoriented and felt sick you probably found it.
A nice example of how not to have your company site look

Yes I found their site to be unhelpful. And they basically were working from the vanacour catalog as far as I could tell from their pictures at the bottom

They do make their own fiberglass parts though.

I would just shop at mid america motorworks, much safer than from showcars.

I dont like their fender flares. They look like something you would attach with rivits.
And I dont know how wide they are. And with the other flares I think I would keep the mud guard things.

look at the drawings, there are 2 styles. The aci style, just the flare (there's some scribing next to the pic mentioning the widths) and the quarter panel mudflap type ecklers and others have.
This is the mudflap design quarterpanel:
