Default flared fenders on a LS1 T/a (in FL)

If this is yours, please step up! You parked next to me at the Ale house in Orlando on University. The car was dirty lol but looked pretty damn good, this shitty camera phone pic doesn't do it justice.



what do you guys think?

Hmmm, too, . . . too boxy? I like the fender flares for Dick Harrell's or McNord's.

Hmmm Ive never seen that one around... They look like 3rd gen flares. Mabye a wider-track wheel/tire combo is in the future?

Ditch the lower valance and i dig it but it would need a wider rim to really complete the look

Needs to be lowered, get rid of the chin spoiler... Looks decent on that angle.

I was wondering how many people were gonna comment on the front lip in a fender flare thread...I personally think a mini tub is a better way to fit a wide tire in the back, but it looks good his way too
If you want flared fenders though I would go with a hand massaged approach so the whole fender blends

lol i thought the same thing when i posted it "i wonder how many people are going to comment on everything BUT the fenders" haha seems like the LS1Tech community has done it again! haha idk im a huge fan of the look, i think the lip kit he had on it looks great, and the fenders really gave it a different look, more muscular i think. Its different and cool, and obviously the work put into it payed off.

I've been wondering about some flares like that for quite some time now. Now that I see it, I'm gonna do it! Sure is a lot easier than re-doing the WHOLE damn quarter panel.

Ya I think it looks mean as hell just like it sits, and I'm way too lazy to massage a whole quarter panel lol I was just saying I think that would be a nice way to do it...

I think it would have been cheaper if he bought the right offset wheels. Hard to tell what they really look like from that pic.

the wheels were nice and the rear tires were huge, i think he needed a spacer for the back tho to clear that little edge he had going. I wish the owner would step up already haha if i see it again i'll stop him and ask. and get more pics
