You think they'll make a set to fit my new Jeep!?! Seriously, do what you like. It's your car. I only like fender flares on Jeeps and similar vehicles... and only when they are needed to cover big tires.

They would more likely make them for a jeep than a fiero. I plan on firbeglassing it all in to my car so i can have fatter tyres. As i can see now this guy has done it just what i was looking for ... https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/071642.html

Do a search for Fieros in Japan. They were required to have fender flares added there by law.

I can't stop thinking about the idea... I'm thinking black against yellow would look good, anything else just wouldn't look right.

Here's the pic from the link above:

uh, dude... fender flares arent for "big" tires... they are for WIDE tires.. in some places you would have to have fender flares to cover them if you have tires wider than the fender...

I have found several makers of flares hard part is to get them to reply to me in Australia about delivery and dimensions. The wheel arches on a fiero are wider than most cars i am gonna mould them in so i might need to cut and extend etc to get it perfect. I am not too thrilled with the ones on the chop top i would be disappointed with that and wouldnt fit them. The white car is looking better although i am liking the bubble style below

The bubble flares pictured there are 1977 Toyta Celica flares. I started my working career in the glass industry specialising in custom cars and race cars. We used to have those moulds and they wre taken off factory Celica flares.

They are still around in Australia if you hunt for them.

TOCLFL-240 Flares - 3" exposed fixings - all models (set of 4).

We talked with the owner, he said the fender flares were off a Corvette, I forgot what year.
