Default GS Wheel Flares

I'm considering adding GS flares to my '96. I see Ecklers has them for $529 a pair. That seems pricey for two small pieces. Any one know where I can find a quality pair for less?

I think this 40th looks incredible with GS flares. Love the Ruby Red.

Don't know how most attach them, I used a carbofill and glassed them in. Got mine from Vette Daddy as well, awesome product and the best price.

Some people use 3M automotive grade 2 sided tape. Others use screws. The GM originals came supplied with screws and tape.

Each set has to be indiviually fitted to each car, even the originals, for a good fit.
