Wide flares for '75s Narrow body

Hello all,

Looking into something wide for my '75s. Don't complain, it's a fairly molested car already.

I love the Group 4 cars, "Almeras" style body work.

Who still makes a complete kit? What will fit the narrower S rear quarter panels?

What else is available?

Welcome! Sounds like a cool project. Definitely post up a pic. If the car isn't too far modded, keep the narrow body. I'm glad I did. You just don't see skinny hips that often and so many other middies are flared out.

As far as what fits - anything. You'll cut the fender off and screw on the flares. I'm not familiar with those particular flares, but check any of the usual suspects such as Getty, AIR, MA SHAW, patrick motorsports etc.

Good luck!

If you haven't already, do a search on the forum for Almeras flares. There was a company in Europe if I remember right that was making them still. I don't think any of the typical US venders offer that style flare, but I could be wrong!

try this thread for example: 911SC group 4 body work

Listen to the "keep your car narrow" crowd at your own peril... it's YOUR car, do with it what you like!!

Best,
Tom

you can get them from EB Motorsports now, shipping basically doubles the price but likely to be higher quality than the Italian parts, they are designed for SC flare though..
