I was poking around ebay yesterday after reading this thread and it seems like there are a few sellers with basically the exact same flare. I'm wondering if they are the same as what he used here. They look similar, but then again most flares look really similar in pictures... After seeing this thread I kinda want to get a set!

I'm wondering if I can tuck those Epsilons under the stock fenders, I'm excited to see if I can or not.

Btw found the origin of the "alternative" flares FM used here:
www.Aerofiberglass.com | Custom Fiberglass & Carbon Fiber Manufacturer
http://www.aerofiberglass.com/produc...ares-set-of-4/
Reasonable price, and the original manufacturer. No middle man!

wankel=awesome,
Those look like the same flares. Might be a good idea to call them and ask what the measurements between the inside of the two ends is. If it's about 26", they'll work. I believe the measurements they give on the web site is from outside to outside, which isn't useful when determining if they'll work with your wheel arch.
bikeordie92, I used big stainless rivets to fasten them on.

I love the car! 
Great use of flares, ducktail and chin spoiler to evoke the look of the original IMSA car without the over-the-top sizing.
The wheels are a particularly nice touch.

Love what you did, just like the hotwheels cars.
I put flares on my car in 2008, I cut the rear fenders for lowering and wider wheels. Car was disassembled for 2 years and is now going back to together.
Your car has inspired me to maybe put on the other 2 flares I have on the front now that I have a FC front subframe and suspension installed.
Thanks so much for sharing your build!

Decided to order a set of the flares from the site that Wankel=Awesome posted - http://www.aerofiberglass.com/produc...ares-set-of-4/
I'll keep everyone posted on how fast they get here, how they fit etc

I'm sorry to hear the company hasn't delivered. No excuses for their poor communication but my understanding is that their turnaround time can be lengthy. When I purchased mine from ebay, It took me 3-4 weeks to get mine even though the auction stated they were "in hand". Is there a phone number you can call?

I figured it might take some time and had they emailed me to indicate as such I wouldn't have a problem, but I've emailed them 4 times, no reply.
I called the number on their site but it immediately goes to a woman's voicemail, who doesn't identify herself as part of the company, or reference the company name at all, so I didn't leave a message.
My director has the following written on his wall at work "Set expectations and Over-Communicate" really sums it up Really is the key to good business... Anyway I digress
No hard feelings to anyone here at all! I escalated it to a paypal claim so we'll see if that gets their attention.
