Being lowered just gives it the appearance of flaring; I believe it's totally stock. Moon never made anything for an Astro.

I think being all 1 colour adds to the effect,it looks pretty much the same as the flare on my 95.

I don't believe anybody makes fender flares for the astro/safari . Peter went through an extensive search trying to find someone that makes them . i believe the only way is to fabricate your own from a set that close to the astro 's . depending on what type you want JC whitney sells a rubber flare in 2" or 3" in a roll that you can fab to fit .
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.


DAILY THOUGHT:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

actually xenon did make a set of flares for the van's but they were a weird shape.....i'll see if i can find a pic......i know i have it somewhere.......these ones just look clean....it must be the color that makes it look like that......i searched the moon eyes site last night as well....some cool stuff on there.

here we go......xenon makes them but to me they look like they were based on the old "mirage" kit style......except those were fiberglass and these are urethane.....
