Carbon fiber rear fender flares
 
I didnt know this was a thing and came across this online. I do not plan to purchase. Not sure what the purpose is for other than looks? I don’t think our Camaro’s need them. Thoughts and Opinions!

its for looks and to run a 12-13inch wheel... usually have to cut into the factory fender under the overlay for it to all run correctly. once you go widebody its hard to go back.

I mean, i kinda dig it. Match it with some carbon fenders and some wide wheels. I dont think I would ever run them, but I get it.

fugly and expensive,only reason would be for a drag car.

Thanks for the responses. I agree though it is FUGLY in my opinion.

Kind of like a hydrogen bomb. Just cuz you can doesn't mean you should.:smiling1:

Remember I was looking at flares because with new wheels I was looking at 5mm spacers to clear the handbrake line, thankfully didn't need it (just barely), wish that the Z28 style flares were more innexpensive\available, much better option then something like that imo.

That's an idea right there. Much better option as you stated for those going that route.

Gross… looks like sheeit. The way mother GM performance built the sheet metal on these cars is exactly how they need to stay.

AGREED!!! One of the guys I know around here put those nasty looking flares on his Camaro, but he painted them white to go with his red and white theme. Looks absolutely morbid, but he loves the look!! :noidea::bonk:

I can imagine. Any chance you have pics of it?

Also, if you put flares on the CamaroGen5, it totally screws with the lines of the CamaroGen5. The back flares caught my eyes being wide from the factory like a weight lifter. I also believe that's a big reason Camaro 6 owners want to or think about going back to the 5. Now, these flares would look terrible IMO but to each their own. CamaroGen5 :first:

SlowLS1 03-19-2024 06:13 PM

These flares are way over the top IMO. Looks ricey.

The Z/28 flares are about the limit for going wider.
