Name that flair

What are these rear flairs? Obviously not SC or RS.

Looks like a custom flair, such as those done w/ hammer and dolly. Seems a lot like some of the race early cars and ST shape. It might meet up to a normal, unflaired bumper.

I know the owner of this car. I remember him telling me they were SC flares which were extended by 1 inch or 1.5 inches.

You are correct sir!

These are custom flairs that I had done because the original flare was about 1" too small. I could just fit a 245, and thats it. In hind site I should have had the whole flair redone, but currently they had added about 1.5" at the top only, making it look kinda like an ST flair. Still the body shop did a great job and matched the paint perfectly.

I think I got it now...if the original flare is too small, you go for some flair .
