I'm looking for something different than the GT flares and stuff like that, I was thinking more like body flares. Anyone got any pics of some different flares.

Search on John Kelly flares. He's a member here who makes flared quarter panels and sells a instructional dvd. He's good! His avatar is a pic of a 914 done with flares

I'm kinda partial to 911SC flares: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=342

Dr E. had custom flaring done at Los Panchos: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=15837

I've always like the flares on this car:

Too bad but it looks like the links to the larger pics are no longer working.

Hey Eddie...those look like HPH flares...did you buy that car from California?? Does it have a 2.7 in it??? Looks like a car I saw at the Partsheaven swapmeet a few years ago.....

Mike,

Yes, I did buy the car out of the Bay Area (with a 2.7 and Weber 40s) from Don Teeter.

It had an IMSA style front air dam and dark plexiglass headlight covers. I installed 916 style bumper and the glass hood and deck. The front fenders were simply set on top of the steel fenders and fastened with Dzus fasteners. I removed all of the front fender metal with a plasma cutter and fabricated mounting brackets.

Still lots to finish ...

Ayup.
They actually come as full quarter pannels but don't come close to fitting the car, so ya take what ya need
It'll never be a CW car, tho.
