Japanese spec GTS. Lots of weird stuff for Japan. Speed warning buzzer, cat overtemp sensors, wheel arch extensions...

Are those lower rear light (reflector?) pods factory?

Mark - do these increase wheel well clearance or are they purely cosmetic?

Looks just like the flare added to the 1970+ Corvette's.
I know a few Vette owners who prefer the 1970-72 cars because of this, keeps debris from the tire off the back end of the car. Acts like a mud flap.

Mark - do these bolt on or are they blended into the existing quarter panel? What are they made of? Are they only for the rear? Does the price of $663 include all four corners or is this each?

That's just the price for one. There are 2 studs and one hole and it apprears to be ABS plastic.

send them to Carl.

do the fender flares up front cut the original fender. It looks like they widen the front fender, but maybe its an optical illusion
