dick harrell rear quarters?!
dick harrell rear quarters?! does anyone out there know if the rear quarters that are on the dick harrell LS1 camaro are available for buying somewhere or know a place that can fabricate them?, i think they look sweet as hell and make the camaro look mean..
I'm pretty sure those are not available anywhere, made specificially for those cars. A high end body shop could do work like that but your talkin alot of man hours which translates to lots of $$$.
There was a thread on here called "So, you want your car to look like a Dick Harrel" about a guy and his buddy who were supposed to fab them up. It turned into a flame war and got locked.
No one makes them, and since it sacrifices body integrity to replace the rear 1/4 with a fiberglass panel, the cars are discontinued, and it would be extremely expensive to make, no one ever will.

i just dont see why one of the guys on here with access to a body shop make the "fender-flared" rear 1/4 panels out of steel or whatever the stockers are made out of.

I just would like to make it clear, that GMMG could *NOT* come close to winning a lawsuit over fender flares, and I doubt they would be dumb enough to try. Thats like Nike trying to sue reebok for putting laces on thier shoes.

If GMMG has bad enough legal advice to sue anyone for making flared rear quarters, let them. They didn't invent them, nor are they unique in their use on Camaros. Now, if someone goes and paints "Dick Harrell" on the side of the car, now that's another story...
No one's come out with these things because they're hard to do and the prospective sales volume is too low for what people would be willing to pay. Plus, they're not something you can just bolt on, so add some serious body shop costs.

The fact is, GMMG isn't the first company to come up with the idea of flairing the fenders to acheive a wider body stance. Just about every car out there that runs in any type of race series has flared fenders in order to stuff 10-14" wide wheels. From Mercedes, BMW, Acura, Honda, to Chevy, Dodge, Ford and Pontiac, they all have them, why can't someone offer them.
I love the look of the DH cars, but lets get real, they didn't invent the wide look, they just made a nice version for the camaro.
All you need to do is make them and market it towards the firebird crowd since GMMG totally forgot about us. (But don't tell anyone that they'll work on camaros too).
dude i stayed at that same hotel on the power tour of 2005. we drove the silver 03 cobra. the hotel was kind of old and falling apart. that car was one bada$$ car. he did one of the biggest burnout i had ever seen in my life at about every stop.
1 word that everyone is forgetting when you try to sue for copying someone elses work..PATENT... GMMG and Berger does not (to this day) hold ANY patents or copyrights at the U.S. Patent office reguarding this issue... therefore.. no lawsuit can be filed, it would be baseless and without merrit...
it WOULD be plausible if some one were trying to build the exact same Dick Harrell cars, and selling them as "Dick Harrell" cars..
otherwise you would have countless companies sueing each other over Hoods.. and clear corners.. and SS wings.. seat covers.. ect.
