saw buddies GNX with fender flares..why not on Fobodies?

These fender flairs on my buddies GNX..they flowed with the car..looked great and made the car look more muscular..why cant anyone design flares like that for our Camaros and Firebirds?
I mean the woodward race camaro had flared fenders..not like the GNX..but flared..why can we not get race looking fender flares for our cars that has the moulding sticky tape that matched our cars color? and you just aply??
just wondering..

maybee it would look bad..but the flared Z's that I saw looked awsome..

It won't look good unless the offset of your wheels sticks out slightly right now. And that is VERY rare, especially on the front.

wonder if those would fit on a firebird........ then again, those might look kinda funny, there would be nothing to continue the downward lines of the kit on the body itself

Anyone remember the guy from Austrailia with the white Camaro with fender flares? Great looking car. Someone do a search and post the link. I have to eat, or I would.

the guy from Austrailia had ROLLED fenders that flared out...not stick on fender flares. About the only thing I can think of when I think of stick on fender flares is a 3rd gen with gold or silver fender flares and frogged out wheels...oh...and some chi chi salsa music coming from within.
