MFR has not gotten to the flares yet.  The NOS original Fronts have been at his location for more than a year.

79 / 80 Front Spoilers are available at the vendors.  They may not be in stock but the part has been developed and is available to the hobby.  It is separate from the flares.

Hornet flares have not been reproduced to my knowledge.  There is a guy advertising on the Altoona PA Craigslist who is advertising Hornet AMX flares

The Targa band extrusion prototype has come in.  Our first attempt at fitting it didn’t go well.  It looks very nice but it was difficult to snap in and interfered with the screws holding down the aluminum strips.  The screws on my car are oval head and aren’t all perfectly installed.  We were employing a heat gun but believe we may need a roller to apply even pressure.  Roller is on order.

To tell you the truth, I always thought that those rust trap flares looked gawky on a Spirit or Hornet.

But I think flares look bad on a pickup as well....more rust traps.

Just my O2

How about some bumper end caps !

I was more forgiving with the flares...  I always thought they were just a representation of the times...  Lots of wild graphics and body kits.  All the manufacturers were doing it.  Ford with the Mustang II and their Cobra or King Cobra, Chevy with the Z28 or Monza and then Dodge with the Aspen R/T.

I'll call Dave tonight and get him to produce the quote.  He has them at his house from going out to Colorado last year.
