C3 Corvette Fender Flare Part Description
NOTE: Upon receipt, all fiberglass body panels, bumpers, spoilers, hoods, fenders, etc. must be checked for fitment. The nature of vintage Corvettes and perhaps prior repaired cars is that there is normally some fitting, grinding or filling necessary to make new parts fit older cars.
This is especially true when replacing a urethane bumper or panel with a fiberglass part. The urethane, by nature, is more flexible and can form itself to compensate for cars which may be slightly out of spec.
The fiberglass part may require more hand fitting and filling to achieve a good fit. Mold lines and small imperfections may be present. This is normal and is not considered a valid reason to return a part.
Parts which have been modified or painted by the customer or their body shop are not eligible for return. If you are employing a body or paint shop, please make them aware of this.
If you have questions, please call 800-500-1500 prior to ordering. We will be glad to assist you in finding the proper parts for your Corvette.
All panels & parts will require sanding & priming prior to painting.
