Re: what flares are these?

i'm surprised he hasn't stopped by, maybe a bit busy at the moment.

to make it short, bumper end caps were the extra-wide from canadian army, bought from guido. fender flare were custom made to line up with the end caps

i'm sure he'll chime in when he has some spare time

Re: what flares are these?

I actually have a set of these flares. They are a little wider and squarer than stock 460 flares
more like G55 flares. They were taken off an early 460 and I have only seen another set
and it was on another early 460. Thay are the best looking flares because of their width and flatter profile. Never got around to installing them so I would consider parting with them.

yes thats correct but what we are talking about is the EXTRA wide bumper end caps and fender flair not the every day common ones.

Re: what flares are these?

Re: what flares are these?

I'm pretty sure it was Borbet that made the wider W460 flares.

Re: what flares are these?

Not sure if they are the only manufacturer. But, here's a set on Guido's site:
