fender flares on 73 camaro

[tb8125]

hey guys what do think about these flares should I cut them out or leave them.... and what about the hood... it has the holes in it because of the turbo i guess but that motor is coming out soon... do you think it would be fine if i fill the holes......:help:

No offense, but the hood needs to be replaced. The flares are sorta cool and can help you get a nice lip front and back on some big hoops. Maybe have someone do a Photochop to see what it would look like.

ya i don't like the hood either

Ditto on the hood.

I think the flares would look cool if you did an all out SCCA / road course race car type theme and added them to the rear too as 6'9" said. Otherwise, I would remove them.

I like the flares, but not so crazy about the hood.

I found a stock one I guess I should get it.....

When I bought mine, it already had flares (front and back).
I don't like them so I placed new fenders.
And plan to have new quarters welded in coming winter.
Looking back, it wasn't smart to buy this one with flares.
Takes alot of time and money to get it looking "original" again..
Here's a picture before new fenders were put on.

This pic is with the new fenders installed.
If your fenders/quarters are still ok,
try to remove only the flares.
It's a pain in the ass to install new fenders.
And quarters even harder (welding ect).

I already removed the fenders just waiting on the news..... And I have found out that it is a pain in the a$$ to find some that will replace the quaters and not just hack them up or make me sell my next born child to afford them... (and that guy was still a hack)

Ok, well good luck with the fenders!

And in finding a good bodywork man.
