Default C5 Fender flares

Im thinking about adding fender flares to my C5 track car to make some ccws i have work.

I dont want some cheesy looking ad on and want something that blends in pretty well.

Any ideas/pics/suppliers?

thanks

You posted this in the wrong section. Do a search for "to flare or not to flare".

Kerry Hitt at Advanced Composites has a rear fender for a C5 with a small flare to it. I think it is 3/4". We put it on our C5 SCCA race car. I think it looks pretty sharp, not as big as the ones pictured above.

Hers, is a lot of fun. Bone stock, top down back, roads cruzing. It still has a nasty habbit of the thottle going to the floor when there is a porsche up ahead


no dont have the front flairs. Maybe when the CF heat extractor hood goes on

My current car has the stock fenders, but the previous owner "bowed" them out and gave about a 1/2" more flare. So the ones that give me 3/4 probably wont be big enough.

The ones on the grey c5 pictured above I really like.....and of course the company that made them went out of business.

I really dont like the ACP ones. Looked at those.

Maybe i just need to sell these darn CCWs and buy another set of Fiskes that will fit and forget about it. Anybody want some CCWS?

I run 18x13 ccw classic track in back with Hoosier 18x335/30. On a 3/8" spacer. No problems covering the tire
