Source for fender flares?

Last Ride · 03-18-03, 12:30 PM

Anyone have ideas on where to buy rear fender flares for their shark? I have looked on vendor sites as well as ACI's site, but found nothing. I think fender flares will be in my future whether or not the '78 sells, so if they don't go on the '78, they will go on the next C3. Any ideas?

ACI does sell them. You have to get in touch with them direct for more info.

What company made them, VANACOR?
Have they been painted?
What years do they fit?
How much bigger are they relative to the stock quarters?

What would shipping be to 92865???

NICE!!!

I hope mine looks that good when Im done with it.
But are they ever really done???

Chris your vette is a monstrosity, look how much time is spent looking at it. And yup those fender flares really are distracting, I'm not sure what they would see first.. those or the tail lights

As far as value goes, your car couldnt be worth more then umm what 50k?? hardly an increase in value from the original price tag

I love that car, more since I saw the original shots of it.

In my opinion:

1) the "right" fender flares enhance the body lines of C3s and of C2s.

2) Corvettes are not about money.....not for me anyway. They're about fun and driving.

3) Getting wound up in the purist's approach to originality sentences you to just another nice C3 or C2.........like so many others.

Gimme a hotrod like 69myway's any day!!!!!!

My opinion only.

Hmm I have to make a change to my previous statement, I think Chris should cut his losses and give me killer. Its been abused far too long. Not a loving home, not a loving home at all.
