T/A Fender Flares
Has anyone purchased the front fender flares offered by The Parts Place? I'm wondering if they fit right.

I would not order ANYTHING from The Parts Place! I have ordered 69 Trans Am fender air extractors, the 69 Firebird parking lamp fillers, and a couple other parts. Not only do they not fit correctly, they are not even molded correctly to even be the right shape!!!
Their hood tach, Hurst His/Her shifter, and front lower air baffle were ok though.

I suspect they don't even stock what they sell necessarily, as they will deny a request to post additional photos of an item they only show in a single photo..

Yes they fit great. One of the few things the parts place has actually made to fit well.

You can also heat the flairs for a little fine tuning as far as fitment.

Will be running out of nos & nice used flares soon, so def a timely post.
Thoughts for those that have used these & Danko's fiberglass versions as far fitment go. What material are PP '70-78 flares made out of? Is there a steel rein bracket on each of the PP flares?

Does anyone know the manufacturer of “the parts place” flares? Are they Danko’s?
Also does anyone know the material they are made of? Thanks, Stan. |

I asked. They say they are ABS plastic and that they have them made for them. Would not say by what company. I bought one to test/compare.

They are the most like GM ones out there but normally need some heat gun work to make fit.

I was curious as I have a set of NOS and the car I’m building is a clone. If they are that nice I would rather save the NOS for a real TA hopefully in my future.

I have used several sets of Parts Place I cut the bracing out and and fit flare on body then re-glue I have the contact info for guy who makes them for Joe I wanted to buy a batch of 10 sets that were not glued but no luck Maybe we could do a group purchase of flares not glued and get them unglued and for cheaper
I would be in for 6 sets at least |
