We just completed these in our fabrication shop and am pleased to present them for purchase. With the special templates and dies, which we also designed and fabricated ourselves, we will be able to complete a full set every fifteen minutes.

Brad, I know we'll want to place these kits for sale on the 914.com section you have been promoting. I know you'll expect a generous discount for members. We're thinking in the neighborhood of $4.73 per fender. Or $4.73 per set if you prefer. Let me know.

We know this unorthodox crowd of 914 lovers will appreciate our unusual choice of cardboard as our main structural material. I'ts very light and brown. Duct tape in the color of your choice is suggested for permanent installation on your ride. Speaking of your ride, wait until you see the expression on your friends faces when they see you drive down the street with these on

Please don't hesitate to contribute your feedback on our project. Everyone's opinion is truely valued. I know there must be trick improvements out there somewhere. We have other ideas in the works

put them on ebay, someone will buy them.

Damn bhfast! That's just the kind of ideas we're looking for! We hadn't even thought about shipping

Now for a "small fee" you can include the special recipe, and ingredients for paste to attach the flares.

I'll take 2 sets front an rear. Want an extra set in case the first set gets messed up.

Put me down for a set, plus I was wondering if it would be possible for you to fab a crazy whale tail spoiler out of the same material. I would be willing to pay $7.29 for a good one. Please let us know what else you can make, perhaps a front air damn. Cardboard should be forgiving to the curbs, at least more so than fiberglass!

Keep up the good work!

Shit, with these on the market, I'll never sell another custom flare job!

Shipping exclusively by the Big Brown Truck UPS. Dale Jarrett may even be driving.
I would like to put in my order for a complete car made of this new light weight material, cost is no object. Please send in a plain brown wrapper, I don't want the neighbors to know.

Hey boxtr, your avatar looks like it's from an old Leisure Suit Larry computer game...

Bursch exhaust from Pelican Parts...............$299.00
T4 engine from Jake Raby.........................$6000.00
914.com feedback on GT flares..............$PRICELESS

Okay. April Fools Day is over so I guess this all has to stop - although I'm tempted by Boxstr's excellent custom order request to go on. And madd_dogg_914, I'll stand good on the whale tail spoiler order but I need your $7.23 first. Send it to Brad on his paypal.

I just learned how to post images and feel so, well, empowered I'm pretty new here and apologize if I broke any etiquette rules - don't want to abuse bandwidth. Adios.

Truth of the matter though - 914.com feedback is priceless

Crap! Crap! Crap!

How come every time I buy parts for my project car someone else comes with a better alternative...

Hot Diggity! I finally won sumpin'...

I was into the Space Quest series more. I still have all of those installed in the first computer I ever bought, a Packard Bell Legend I 286/12 that I keep in the garage. How sad is that?
