Just wondering if someone had experience with this kit, very interested but would like to hear something from the owners

Love those fenders! I'd buy them but I'm afraid of the reputation of duraflex.

Maybe if they were molded in. I hate the bushwacker look

Looks more Rocket Bunny to me, which I'm a huge fan of! Wish they made a kit for the Camaro.

At least the rocket bunny flares are contoured, and not just straight angles.

Yeah, that's true.

What`s the sense of having a wide body kit if the rear tire and wheels are sticking out past the wheel well lip!?

Wrong rear spacers, I think

I was surprised when I didn't find any threads and posts at C5 about that kit. We should ask Duraflex if a single kit was sold lol

I've posted here recently about their bumper. I have the 2010 Camaro nose el camino conversion vehicle I'm wanting to update again & thought about using their fiberglass nose, which would be easier to work with than plastic. I also want to modify to have some of the 2016 look.

Only info I could find here was that they didn't fit good at all, which wouldn't matter in my case. No one gave any other info about the quality of the fiberglass, or lack of it, which I could reinforce from the backside.

I had a duraflex hood on my 4th gen. I used to do a ton of fiberglass work. The fitment was bad, but the quality of the material was good, almost too thick if you ask me. If I remember correctly, there were no voids or anything like that.

Also according to picture these flareas are one piece. If I get it right you supposed to use rivets to snap it on. BUT than how you supposed to remove, say, front bumper, while the flare is riveted to the fender and the bumper??
