Hey guys I'm building a resto mod of sorts and i'm looking for some fender flares I want to go wider than the normal GT style I want to use 9 and 10 inch wheels. I can work with steel or fiberglass I have the offerings OF AIR and GT racing was wondering if there was anything else out there?

You could do steel GT flares and do a little bit of cutting and welding:

To each their own but I'd say:
- if you want the riveted on look, fiberglass
- if not the rivets, go with steel

I got my set of steel GT flares from Restoration Design

Oh, and:

The Tangerine stuff looks nice but possibly just a little much $$$$ for this toy plus I think the extra wide GT style fits for me. Just looking to see whats out there. the stuff from AIR and GT racing seems to be made for even wider wheels than I want to use. I still have time just getting the work shop ready.

Not sure if I have the notes on them. Could be from Auto Atlanta. Not sure who else supplies fiberglass flares. These are over 15 years old.

Rennspeed has front flare in fiberglass in a 9" and rear flares in 11" which is 2" over what's available in steel.
