There is huge difference between handlaid mat and shot chopped glass. Thier molding on several of their products are very marginal too. Maybe some of them are good.

I have a set of the box flares. They were not intended for street use. It is chop fiberglass and there are no provisions for either the gas cap or front blinkers.

A buddy just got his e30 widebody (m3 knockoff) kit from Korman and he is very disappointed! The “kit” was very rough and all the detail was missing in the front fenders. Things like the headlight returns were missing, the strip for the hood gasket was omitted and the door area returns were very shotty. Looks like everything was trimmed/cut out with a pair of gardening sheers. Pretty crappy for the $$. Kormans response to his inquire about quality was "these are intended for race applications only". So if you are looking for something for street that is expected to look good and don’t want to spend a ton of time fixing these to be presentable, look elsewhere.

I ordered Kormans box flares, but they ended up being 6" wide and very thin. These were more for a GT car.

Fortunately I was able to exchange them locally for some Z-products flares. About 3" wide and much heavier construction.

Lots of work to install, but a very pleasing finished car.

He was wanting to build a GT car and got the street flares by mistake. Just by chance we were at an autocross together and started talking flares and the trade soon followed. That was probably my one chance with dumb luck.

Check w/ the PNW group to see if Z-products are still in business. Their flares were good, although we did modify them for short point bumpers and removed the gas cap fitting. Plenty strong for street use.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
