Default What Flares do you think look/function the best on a Camaro?

Would like to get some feedback regarding which flares you think look the best for a first generation Camaro, or if you have experience with them, which ones seem to work the best??

I've attached a few pictures of random Camaro's with Flares for you to comment about, or if you have any pictures of some that are done correctly, both for function and form to compliment the classic shape of the first generation Camaro.

I am particularly interested in Street/Track/Auto Cross/Road Racing etc. so also utility is important. If the flares are used with splitters, scoops, etc. that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Ty

Didn't Ironworks already build your flares ? I like the dark blue road racing camaro above, but the way the flares tuck tight into the body reveals too much tire and creates a 4*4 look. I think the best design is something that looks like that but doesn't tuck in so much, then of course you need to tie the airdam and rocker into it a little bit.

all flares look like ass on a first gen. they always look like an afterthought and screw up the classic lines.

now a properly executed widebody, on the other hand......
