Fender flares
Take a look at the attached pictures on the right front FENDER and you can see the GM partnr and the Corvette emblem in the inside of the fender as I mentioned already in by original question. (I don't think that the aftermarket
suppliers are allowed to use the GM/Corvette trade marks on their products or what do you think TCXD40
?????) So, we can summarize that this is NOT an aftermarket kit.
1. It is a factory form moulded part, not a fiberglas item.
2. Checked the partnr's with GM; original GM part, not an aftermarket kit. The parts were unfortunately discontinued by now due to the 10 year spare parts rule.
3. Found out that GM has built special body features only for the European and the Japanese markets.
4. The RPO code for my car body is according to GM:B74 Molding wheel opening extra wide (EXPORT) WHL OPG MLDG EXTRA WIDE (B74)(EXPORT)
and the RPO code R7K stands for special option processing.
The whole rear is a form molded chock absorbing plastic item not made of fiberglas.
So, according to GM I should look for used parts in Europe or Japan instead since these options were nerver available for the US market. So, now you know that the special featured Vette's were ordered from Europe or Japan! Big surprise for me too but I have to say that I am really happy to own this specific car! For the true enthusiasts I can e-mail some pictures later on when I have mounted the right front fender and the fender flare back on the car. Best regards Corvette Sweden

, however RK7 Control Sales Item 36 Processing Option from what I have found is a 36 month 36,000 mile warranty. The RPO is found on many GM car lines.
