I started bidding on these but as prices went up I gave up as I don't really know how these would look on my car. Any body have pics with these on car?

I think the backs are basically GS flares or at least the same look.I dont like them on GS coupes,just my 2 cents,why would anyone want to put them on the front?

OVERPRICED
I agree... just a guess but you can probably get all those pieces for under $400 from Chris May.

I purchased the rear flares and a stock '96 fender from Jeff Kopp many years ago, so I know the approx prices. $400 would be close.

$70 per rear flare
$70 per front flare (just a guess)
$40 per stock 95-96 fender, and probably more for those export models

That's $360 already.

Thanks JasonL for the pics. :thumbs: I stopped bidding at 200 on this kit. Wasn't sure if I would have liked it.

Thanks for the article JasonL, I've seen one export C4 with that rear end with Euro lighting(and without all of the flares) but wasn't aware of all of the changes made to comply with Euro regs.
