Anyone have any luck with some fender flares? I wish I could find some. Apparently GM is now going to sell the Z28 parts to non-owners now?

When I heard that, I looked up the price and they are like 300+ per flare.

$1200+ for these things?? um.........no thank you...seen any cheaper routes with out making your own from scratch?

I may do a fender pull to fit 18x10.5+27s under all sides.

Not familiar with "fender pull". what does that mean? Like bend the metal on the car to extend out further?

There's fender 'rolling' and fender 'pulling'

Rolling is heating up and rolling the inside fender lip for more clearance. Pulling involves taking a mallot and gently massaging the heated up fender to get more width. It's been done on my 240sx and i plan to get it done to my camaro. It usually gives you an extra 1/4 inch or so.

I know right? You would think they would want to make more money. The only thing I want are the fender flares. But for 300+ per flare, n o t happenin. I guess I can understand they want to avoid cloning, but you will be able to tell anyways. Like gt mustang fobras.

A vin # that shows ownership.... So unless you own one or have a friend who owns one...

Use any z28 vin if you want to order the poser parts. The parts guys don't care.
