well, i've been working on these for the past month and half with my body man , we made the molds from scratch and so far its looking real good ,they are made out of fiberglass and the nice thing is that you should be able to trim them for less wheel i you were to use a smaller wheel/tire combo , we still have to do the front too.
i'll keep you guys posted

 

Nice, what width tire will that work with? That looks like lots of work!

 

Looking good Sam, your getting way too fancy on us. J/K

 

*jaw hits floor* hubahubahubahubahuba.

REALLY looking forward to see how this pans out, would be an epicly awesome substitute for a IMSA kit and a smoother look than the ZG flares.

 

hey paul , im gonna be running 16x10 with +15 offset, the tire is 275/45/16 , the thing is iam using 8.8 rear and its about 2 inches longer "axle to axle" than the stock gslse.
and you are right its alot of work to build a flare form scratch then you have to make sure they match on both sides , then make the mold and after all this make a flare , brake all the crap that you built on the car to put the flare on . i think the end result will be rewarding , its looking real good

 

thanks , i did start out with zg flares but they will not fit 100% and you will have gaps so we opted for this, if interested let me know .

prrex4ever , yes i cant believe it myself i have owned this car for 14 years , and its been my test mule for everything i know , its time to reward the car with some fancyness

 

I agree Sam, time to make it look as good as it runs. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

 

nice work! will you be reproducing and selling this when you are done? i would be interested if the price is right. i am contemplating putting the zg flares on my car. but i am not sure if i like the gaps as mentioned above.

i would also like to know if you have a build thread on your car. i would like to see how you got the 8.8 rear end to work and how you got it to fit and what other goodies you have in your car. thanks.

Whelp, there goes your sleeper status. The flares will be a dead giveaway...

 

yep but i needed the grip so i had to pick

 

i will be reproducing these if there is enough interest , i have the molds and can show the finishing results , once its finished . lol

as far as the 8.8 i used 90 mustang rear with stock length , stock suspension location, very simple just copy of the original diff , one thing if you are running high hp i suggest you go with thicker plates " like granny's kit" to weld on the diff and not the original ones as you will twist them if you ever find grip , like i did.

 

these are the actual flares before we mold them to the car , what you saw earlier was the the mold , no its actually what is going on the car . front and back , just making sure they fit right before we put them on for good.

 

Those look good. Dig the Starion/Conquest wheels, too.

 

man your FB looks awesome. those flares make it look great! i would definitely interested in a set of those flares (depending on the price, of course). keep us posted on the progress. looking good...

today the flare went on for real using 3M panel bonding and revits and its looking good , noticed i shaved the sidemarkers of and im shaving the big black rubber molding off too.

 

keep checking this thread i'll keep updating it

 

todays update , notice we are going back to bare metal
i have 4 of the black ones 2 front and 2 rear and they are for sale

 

what kind of flares are you selling and how much?

 

zg flares the black ones in the pic, complete set for 150 + shipping

also i can duplicate the ones on my car if interested

 

as of today.
should be ready in about 3 years . lol

 

As long as its done before the 20b

 

wow that looks awesome!

how much would duplicates of the flares on your car cost? i already have a set of zg's that i want to try for a little while. but eventually i will want to duplicate your set up. your car looks freakin sweet!

 

Looking good Sam, any certain color in mind?

 

i'll talk to my body guy and see what he would charge for duplicate flares , ill keep you informed

 

i wanna go back with the original blueish grey color , but i keep drifting to a different shade of blue , so your "everybody" help will be much appreciated
