Re: fender flare/wide body kit idea
I think your're right. Didn't the old IROC series run third gen camaros? They would have had some good looking flares.

It would need to be custom, I think there may haveb een kits around at one point but i doubt they looked that great.

Re: fender flare/wide body kit idea
I am thinking about doing something like this for my 87 because my jongbloed wheels will not tuck under. Already got a spare set of front quarters. I may try and do them in fiberglass.I have created my own flares and mold for a C3 corvette before...they came out good. I also have a mold for C3 corvette L88 flares, I may try and pull a piece off it and see if it can be made to fit...those are WIDE flares

Re: fender flare/wide body kit idea
That was a kit available in the 80s, from Contempo Vans. A take-off kit just sold recently. There's actually a whole car on eBay now, a 1986 V6 Sport Coupe for sale

Re: fender flare/wide body kit idea
While it looks good, I don't think they'll get the over $7K they are looking for it?

Also it states that it has GM "special effects". I guess that you can't believe everything you read on ebay.

Re: fender flare/wide body kit idea
I understand that it came from the dealer that way but I've also seen Chattanooga Choo-Choo conversions on a new car dealer's floor and I wouldn't call them GM "Special Effects". I guess I would differentiate between factory installed and dealer installed options. and you're right about the V-6.

Re: fender flare/wide body kit idea
I would love to see a set of fender flares for thirdgens. I tried fitting the ones from my e30 against the trans am and they were no where close to covering the entire fenderlip.

Re: fender flare/wide body kit idea
Maybe you should take a look at these
They add an inch and a half more tire clearance
the cover my 17X11 rims with 335 rears and 285 front with no rubbing.
