Those flares came out NICE. It's hard to blend with black paint.

Now you HAVE to wash it every day.

Aaron - good work and done rather quickly- impressive !
My experience with A-I-R fiberglass is to go there and hand pick the item...lots of variation on fit/ no fit. Owner Dan, nice guy and will work with you.
Your black beast is taking shape nicely .

they are off of Xitspd's 914/6 race car

which he had professionally bodyworked into stock 914 qtr panels....

225s are about all i can squeeze under them on 8" fuchs

Posted by: craig downs Jan 8 2006, 08:45 PM

Those are the best looking flares I've seen on a 914. They keep with the original lines and flow. The other ones are just to boxy I think IMHO

Posted by: jim912928 Jan 8 2006, 08:51 PM
