Have you ever seen these??? I saw these and had an idea for them. They are advertised as wide body fender flares for 93 and up camaros. I have a T/A and they will fit as well if you have deleted you side molding. Anyway what I would like to do is paint these to match the car of course but once they are attached put some light weight bodyfill in the seem to mold it all as one. With some wider rims this should look good. Tell me what y'all think

I thought it would look good all molded in. No lines, no seam, basicly would look like a widend fender. I thought the samething about the truck thing to but that would only be if the were just attached with 3m tape. Every one seems to like the dick harrel fenders. I was trying to shoot for something like that. Of course it wouldn't look identical but some what close. Use your imagination.

Oh well I don't think any body understands or is taking time to understand what I mean. I not talking about just cliping them on like some hillbilly. Everyone including myself seems to like the Dick Harrel camaro's fenders. I figured if you attached these like I stated above it would be a good start on trying to make your own. I would never just clip them on and leave them. Like I said earlier IMO I think it would look good molded in that means no lines no seem lokks like the fender came that way.

They're not going to look anything like the Dick Harrell edition Camaro no matter how much body filler you put on there.
Yeah, I saw them on e-bay as well. Thats were I got them from. They do look pretty shitty on that LT1 but he just stuck them on how they come. I thought maybe w/side skirts like I have on my T/A it would look better because the would have something to run in to. But as far that car goes I agree w/ya. He could have at least painted them to match. I am going for a modern day retro look on my car and thought this might be a cool addition to the shaker hood I am fabricating to my factory hood. I'll post pics up if I decide to do the flares. It might be pretty expensive so it might be awhile.
Hear is a pic of my car know and here is what the shaker will look like in the center of my bird wings.

Those pictures are a little better than the ones that I saw. I think it depends on the person doing the work and how much time and detail goes into it. I think it COULD look ok, but it would take some skill to get there.
