Default Who sells wide fender flares that looks like original?

As said above who sells fender flares for C2 Corvettes that look like the original just that they are wider?

I'm going to venture this: No one, because it is not possible. Wider is going to look different.

So I'm probably not understanding what you really mean. I have seen some cars with widened rear ends rather than flares as such, but you certainly can tell when you look down the side. I think those were fully custom fiberglass fabrication.

Are you looking for wider fenders or flares that have the original wheel house shape ?

Roger,

Just do a search on wide fenders and you will find all info you need.

GTS Customs sells the ones your probably looking for.

The ones from Corvette City require more work and are wider, look less stock and you would need to use their wider fronts are stretch yours to keep front to rear body width balance.

Both have their +'s & -'s.

GTS


Corvette City



Sounds like you need to make the body fit a set of wheels.

Default That 63 with the Corvette City wide fenders and quarters looks familiar.

Planned on sending yopu a mail Jere because i thought you woud know

I kind of like the wide ones. Anyway a friend of mine is a magician when it comes to fiberglass(one og few in Norway)so he would do the job.

I am tempted but have far from decided
