This is a VERY good question, one of the first things I look for in an 'accurate' car but rarely talk about. There are SO many variables within the industry and it's so easy to 'step on someones toes' discussing it.

I was recently looking at an older glass Hi Tech, a model well known for it's accuracy. BUT, the bottom of the rear fender flairs just aint 'right'! Is it possible that Hi Techs vary on fender flair from one year/model to the next?

My ERA is the 'street' version body (dash, fender flairs and guage placement different from an SC) but mine is done up in SC style, typical of MANY ERA's. The ERA SC body has slightly different flaring on the top part of the rear fenders. So even with ERA you have to be careful when contemplating the look you want.

For myself, I considered many variables before deciding my current ERA was the right car for me, and that included price as well as fender flairing. I would prefer the SC style ERA flairs but you do the best you can within your budget.
