For what they're commanding, now that GM has ceased making them, I'd think there'd be a helluva demand for them at a reasonable price. For a well done set, I don't think most people would mind even $250. I'd say 95% of buyers could give a flying f*** if they're originals or not, as long as they look good and fit.

Are there any licensing issues if using the GM part for the mold master?

I'm thinking that if they can't be sold for $200 or less a set, there wouldn't be much interest anyway. TIA..

ecklers does not sell them, rather surprising.

Corvette Central only has left ones in stock, right discontinued for 219 each.

Why dont you buy a left one and make a mirror one of it for the right? Shouldnt be too hard to do.

...there are a few C4s over here that have them, most are removed.

I don't know anything about moldmaking but I had a hunch that might work. However, I've got no problem springing for a complete set if it makes the process easier...

Case, do you ever see any of the ones that had been removed floating around for sale down there?

Check this thread out from "you know where"

Thanks Jim. I wouldn't pay $500 for a set of repo GS fender flares and if that's what they have to be sold for to make a fair buck, then I sure won't be making any...

I wouldn't give up on the idea based on that thread, just using it as reference. Why not see how much it would cost to produce them? I might even kick in half the price of a GM set, but I want a piece of the pie!

Someone just mentioned in that thread that they're available at the Grand Sport Registry. Sure enough, they are but they're $460-$510 depending on whether you're a member or not:

I'll be sure to pass this on the the SCCA folks who need the flares to legally run 315's in the stock class.

Those flares are worth no more than $50 a piece. There is nothing so bloody special about them to make them worth any more than that.

If you can buy the whole front bumper for under $500 from Hecklers of all places, there is no good reason why anyone should charge so much for these items.

9 out of 10 people over here are reluctant to buy a C4 with them on it!!!

... Let us know what you plan. I've got an 88 vert here that could use a pair to hide the 11s we are putting on it.

In this case mate its more like dipping dog turds in gold paint and selling them as gold nuggets

Just so you know, someone is already making them. They are for sale on the Grand Sport Registry Store:

John,
You can count me in for a pair, especially if you can do that rear flair part too. Would be nice to have those on to keep the rubber from the slicks getting all over the side of the Vette. :thumbright:
