Detroit Speed Fiberglass Fender Flare Kit (1968-1969 Chevrolet Corvette C3) - 010113DS
Give your early C3 Corvette the body clearance needed for a wider wheel and tire package with the Detroit Speed 010113DS Fiberglass Fender Flare Kit. Designed specifically around the 1968-1969 Chevrolet Corvette body, this complete front and rear flare package features an aggressive 4 inch flare width and replaces both front fenders and rear quarter panel areas. The result is substantially more room beneath the body for a performance-focused wheel and tire combination while giving the Corvette the muscular wide-body appearance to match.
Detroit Speed molds the 010113DS components from fiberglass with an exterior gel-coat finish, and the complete kit is made in the USA. Rather than relying on simple add-on flares, the front pieces extend from the door jamb to the Corvette's original body seam, while the rear quarter flares extend from the door jamb to the rear tail panel. The front fender gills are molded directly into the fiberglass, and the front and rear pieces are recessed for the factory-style side marker light locations.
The complete kit includes right and left front fender flares plus right and left rear fender flares, providing the major fiberglass body components needed to transform both ends of the car. Because these pieces replace substantial portions of the original Corvette bodywork, proper fitting and bodywork are critical to achieving the intended finished appearance. Detroit Speed recommends that installation be performed by a professional body shop.
Important fitment note: The 010113DS Fender Flare Kit is designed specifically for 1968-1969 Chevrolet Corvette applications. Detroit Speed states that the kit can also be used on 1970-1972 Corvettes, but modification is required because the front and rear marker lights and front fender side louvers differ on those model years.

FAQs
What is included with the Detroit Speed 010113DS Fender Flare Kit?
The kit includes one right front fender flare, one left front fender flare, one right rear fender flare, one left rear fender flare, and installation instructions. The fiberglass pieces provide the complete front and rear flare package for the Corvette body.

Yes, but it is not a direct-fit application for those model years. Detroit Speed states that the kit can be used on 1970-1972 Corvettes with modification because the front and rear marker lights and front fender side louvers differ from the 1968-1969 body configuration.
