SS 1LE Fender Flares

Has anyone found some low profile fender flares for the SS 1LE's? I'm going to stick with the stock wheels (I actually like them ) so I don't need any crazy wide-body fenders. I'm just looking for something that will extend the fender out a bit to cover the width of the front and back tires.

Here’s a guy that used the flares for a Z06.

Why has a vendor not jumped on the opportunity to make/modify and subsequently sell these. I would totally rock a set.

Thanks for the link. I wonder if the flares work on the rear wheels too?

My guess is the limited customer pool. The SS 1LE accounts for less than 10% of Camaro production.

Anderson Composites actually did carbon fiber fender flares for the 5th Gen's, but I didn't see anything for our 6th Gen car's.

AC's flares were just CF reproductions of the Z/28 flares, they work on any 5th gen, they could easily make something similar for the 6th gen, idk how many people would be interested but it wouldn't have to be only for the 1LEs, our fenders are the same as all other 6th gen SS/LTs. I'm sure there's some track rats out there that would want them if they plan to run a super wide wheel/tire combo (hell I'd probably be interested if they looked ok).

The more I look at them, the more I am starting to agree. I haven't found anything even remotely like what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll try my hand at making my own?

I bet if someone asked ZL1 Addons, they could easily make a piece that satisfied this requirement. The trick is to make it look good and not tacky. It’s just ABS plastic...

Edit: So, instead of waiting for someone else to pitch the idea to John@ZL1 Addons, I sent him an email and forum links to help explain what we’re asking for. Let’s see what happens.

Out standing. It shouldn't be difficult to integrate their rock guards into the flares.

Stock SS 1LE setup doesn't need them, just rock guards and PPF
