Fender Flares for SN197

Does anyone know if there is a company that makes fender flares for the late model Mustang? I saw this Galpin Ford GT500 at Barrett Jackson in January.

There are some flares made from fiberglass for racing with rivet or screw dimples but they are nothing like that Galpin that is a true wide body with wider rockers, doors, front and rear bumpers. That is big bucks.

If someone made a steel weld on 1.5" rear flare I'd probably be interested. I'm a little surprised nothing is available given the wheel options for the late model Mustang.

i agree. this body style would be perfect for an aftermarket kit. it must be too costly to produce or the companies are worried about the mustang all-go, no-show crowd jumping down their throat

Being how this body style is so retro friendly, you could go with the IMSA look and put together a pretty cool looking car with fat tires on 4 corners using flares.

It's very costly! Time consuming as well. Try your hand with a fiberglass kit? (sheet metal would be better btw). The import world just exploded with fender flares which allows them to slap on big and wide wheels with aggressive offsets and then slamming the car done on coilovers. You could do it too for a "wide body kit" look, just gotta find a Tin set close enough to modify an install on your ride

That would be "S197".

No relation to the old SN95.
