Fender Flares??

I've got 11" rims on the back of my '89 and I was thinking about putting some "Grand Sport" type fender flares on there, but I can't find the d**ned things anywhere... Does anyone know where they sell this?

Thanks,

Carlos

I had a thread saved on where to get them. How ever the forum says now it is not a valid thread. I believe it was from a chevy dealer at 80 bucks a piece. Someone will chime in soon with the info you want, and I lost. Randy

ok found it

I have 11' with flares and I really like them (pics on website). I got mine from here on the forum and they were already painted yellow

BTW I bought them before I put my 17x11's on... I must say I like the look better without the flares! They really don't stick out at all, so I sold my flares to a fellow CF member.

Also, if you get them, use the 3M two sided adhesive tape, I heard it works the best, and its better than drilling into the fender to mount w/ bolts!!

From: New Hampshire There's nothing like a 'Vette

Zip is another option. I'm not sure of the price, but they do have them.

I got mine from Ecklers. They are GM flares, not a copy.

Pictures?

Does anyone have any pictures of a black 'Vette with flares. I haven't seen one and I guess I'm still deciding if I like it. Personally I think it would look great but a lot of people have been telling me I shouldn't put them on....

Thanks,

Carlos
