Default All flared fender vettes help!!!!!

I am going crazy looking at the new Grand Sport and it's flared
wheel wells ( the ZO-6 was making me crazy too but it has a
4 spd and I like autos). I have more power than the Grand Sport
and ZO-6 but those flares look sooooooo good.
I wonder if those guys with flares would show off a little for me, and curb me of the temptation to buy a GS. Thanks for your help
guys and I look forward to some really cool Flared C-5's pictures.

I too am tempted by the GS. I dont like the C-6 style as much as a C-5 but I do like the body better on the Z06. The only problem is the fixed roof. Now a Torch red GS vert would be the first C-6 Ive really thought about. But til then my flared c-5 has to do.

You are absolutely right but they should have a auto!!
I see that the guys that responded have only the rear fenders
flared, are you planning on the front or is that it?
Thanks for taking the time and effort showing me and the forum
your cool vettes. I feel better I will probably find a set(front and
back) that will make my Y2K look better than a GS.
Again thanks alot.

Know how you feel. Really like the looks and power of the C6 ZO6, but would miss the drop top. Think the Grand Sport is great looking, but I'd probably be investing additional bucks in the engine. Decisions, decisions

Here's a few of mine.

Nice flared fenders, leaning that way myself, there is a thread by Jeff@TPE that they did a nice job on the rear and I think they are working on a prototype for the fronts to be flared too.

These guys have a set of front flares but at more than $900 and a tiny flare I will pass.

2000lambovette---Seen your vette before, very nice. We can
see all the thought you have put into it.
ajg1915---Look'n good ,are you thinking about the front fenders?
Cute cheese cake.
phillip50---No decisions to be made stay with what you have.
Very nice.

I know that front fenders are more difficult to make and vendors
are just tackeling this problem. I saw Jeff's unfinished fenders,
waiting some installed on a C-5. I have got to see the product
before buying. I do not favor the L5 fender because of the
body line. It is just me.
Thanks again for helping think more C-5 and less C-6 GS.
