914World.com _ 914World Garage _ GT fenders with stock bumper and rockers

Posted by: 9magazine Feb 22 2006, 02:30 PM

Does anyone have GT flares on their car with their orginal non-flared bumpers and rocker covers?

Can you post a photo, trying to get a mental picture of how the 9 Magazine car will look.

werd...

flared VALENCES (under the bumpers) and flared side rockers....

see many cars without a flared rear valence (Because only one source makes them IIRC)

Flared Valence (no "S"). The GT does not use a rear valence

LOL

Kind of hard to see but this car has a stock front and rear valance, the rockers are for a flared car.

Brian... I think what your looking for is what I have.... ie.. they dont line up. Looks okay from a distance, but it still bugs me.

Anyone have a source for them?

I have tried different makers, but as far as I am concerned these are the ones to use. Rennspeed http://www.rennspd.com/Index.asp
And the price is right.

Without the flares they really look unfinished and awkward.

Posted by: GeorgeRud Feb 22 2006, 09:34 PM

Check with MSDS, he had some pieces. Also, he had a flared rear valance to fit with the GT flares. Gives the 9146GT a nice finished look.

I don't remember where I got my flared rocker panels, but it took some playing with to get to line up correctly.

If your good with a saw, metal snips, a welder and grinder, take your originals and modify.....

Brian, a correct GT was SANS rear valence...but I do make a rear with the corrected ends to blend into the rear fenders. Inventory is nil right now , but getting ready to build a dozen.
A-I-R Fiberglass (ads in "Excell") owner Dan McLoughlin, makes side rockers and front piece...and will need some taming
Dude , where's my magazines....haven't seen one since GAF last year

Marty,

New issue went out about a week or so ago, I will pop another issue in the mail to you!

Didn't know you had such a 914 love-a-afair!

Hi Marty,

How do you think your rear valance would fit with SC flares. I've been looking for a deep valance with no cutouts for my dual outlet triad.
