I'm considering taking my 74 and turning it into a GT style 6
I've seen some flares that look really good and others that don't. Maybe it was just the pictures but who makes a nice looking, quality set? |

There is just factory and AutoAtlanta. In some ways AA is better.
Sometimes fiberglass flares are molded in, so maybe that's what you are seeing as substandard. |

Well there are actually 3 manufacturers
Porsche auto Atlanta whom most everyone uses and George sells to most vendors Dansk whom is relatively new. Odds are you see Auto Atlanta units in pictures |

This was posted by @carr914 in the sandbox and is just a really clean, nice looking setup.
Are these Auto Atlanta? Or is it hard to tell from the pic. I appreciate the responses as I contemplate this journey. Attached image(s)

Ok so I going to just make this statement. I have installed about 20 sets of flares now . 1 set of original and the rest were AAs. You can’t tell the difference once they are finished

Cool. Thank you!
I was leaning towards Georges stuff and that clinched it. |

You can’t tell the difference once they are finished @mb911 I just love it when you post stuff like that. Target Down! I won't look anywhere else when I get to that point. I'll also PM you about installation at that time. I know, you'll be too busy. I'll try begging... or blackmail... Your welding pics are to die for. Past medical, more like aerospace! |
