But once they are installed and painted, will anyone be able to tell the difference? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Yes actually, especially the Rears. The Originals are thinner Steel and have some flex to them. If someone is flareing a Real -6, these would be a Must! In some ways the RePros are a better flare - heavier metal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

The rears are the same thickness as the fronts. BTW, the flares from back then came with brown/red primer like most other spare sheet metal from the factory (at least back then). They were not bare metal and did have the old style factory stickers on them. If you believe all the stories/rumors/internet legends, the flares made by restoration design are actually symmetrical while the originals are supposedly not. |
