'18 SS 1LE w/ Gary's vented fenders!!!

propwashed · 05-06-2018, 12:28 AM

Just wanted to give you guys a look at my new 1LE I picked up a couple months ago. I contacted Gary (who used to do a bunch of vented fender mods on the Gen 5's) this is the first set or one of I believe of his fender kits installed on a 6th Gen. Turned out really nice. There is a problem with doing this on the new Camaros however. the massive washer fluid tank is located in the right side fender and must be removed for these to fit. I'll have to come up with a much smaller tank and custom fit it inside the fender at some point. Any ideas would be helpful. heres a few picks:

Looks good..

Did you have to take the bumper off inorder to remove the fender ?

propwashed · 05-06-2018, 08:24 AM

You could leave the bumper on but I wanted to de chrome the front bow tie so removing the bumper is necessary to unclip the front badge. there are tons pf screws/fasteners holding all this together. Fenders and and bumper removal/replacement took a buddy and I about six hours of rapid wrenching.

Here's a pic of that massive washerfluid tank

Likey like

Any info or testing done by Gary or otherwise on the flow/temp characteristics with these added? Any contact info for the fender kits, for when they become more readily available?

The are really just ascetic considering you would want to install the wheel well liners which block any airflow from the vents. if you would open up the liner for the vent to "breath", i think you would get a bunch of road debris blasting through and onto your paint. I'm sure they could be made functional with some custom ducting.

When I contacted Gary regarding these fenders he was just in the process of setting up his new body shop in Florida. He had started a set and was in the final stages of fabrication. I went ahead and ordered them and he had them to me painted in about three weeks. I know he took a pretty long break fabbing these after the initial gen 5 kits to get his new shop up and running. Gary is a super cool dude and really came through with these for me. As far as pricing, schedule, availability... you would need to give him a call at 850-866-8883.

Keep in mind this is really a side project for him due to his enthusiasm in the camaro world and he runs a complete auto body and paint shop day to day.
