I've been here regularly since the early part of 08 and have never seen it "here" before. Not saying someone else doesn't know where it is. I will say that it is one bad#^* machine though!

Its all fine and dandy taking out the scoops deal, but when the right cop would see it without side marker lites it won't be back on the road until it has them.

I guess that's possible in some states, but I know that around here in NC, those nonexistent side lights would be no problem at all.
The only thing I don't care for is the bubble tail lights.

Wow! Talk about art in motion. That thing is beautiful.
I'd hire that plastic surgeon.
Looks are subjective, but it just reminds of a small chick with HUGE implants.
That said, work is top notch.

I've seen mention of those flares before, but I don't recall where. They do look pretty awesome.
I made mine to look like my car was a factory "Z06" option if there were one offered back in 72.
Josh at Custom Image Corvettes has the molds for mine, and he is selling them as complete fender replacements for about the same you would pay for just flares anywhere else.

Josh made molds of Curby's flares and I am getting a set on my car. I am headed out to SD in a couple of days to help get started installing them. I will post up some pictures next week.
I think Josh also has the molds for the side inserts that Curby did.
EDIT: Oh, yea... I want your garage, Curby :-)

The black vette is called "fat fender". Search on this forum for "fat fender" as there was a thread not too long ago. It is different than typical flares in that they actually brought the flare into the body of the doors.
