Looking for rear flares and I believe the size is 11" to fit an 11" slick. I know Patrick Motorsports has them, anyone else?

I have to look tonight, i have a set of 11" flares and they were either from Getty or AIR ...

I'm using the 7 and 9 inch flares from these guys along with the bumpers. Fit is decent with the fenders, so so with the bumpers.

They will probably be AIR as Getty doesn't make that size.
Are you still planning on using them Andy? Actually if your going to do two turbos then you might want bigger ones to cover the huge tires you'll need.

Here are mine from Rennspeed. It took allot of work but that is dependent on how anal you are... 
Correction - My flares are 9" Front...I had listed 7".

Very nice work. Did Rennspeed also sell the rocker panel?
Posted by: SirAndy Apr 24 2012, 11:20 PM
Yes.
Already got the wheels and tires for them. I just have to get motivated to do the bodywork.
Since my cars is all molded in, that will be a major undertaking ...

Wow Tony your car looks awesome! How about some more pics! What spring rate did you settle on for the rear, front torsion bar size? and who makes the rear wing? Thanks!

The rockers, trunk w/ spoiler, and flares are all from Respond. I supposedly had all of these glassed as "thicker" than normal - you'd never know it though. If someone is intending to "glass in" the flares these would NOT be the way to go - way to thin. I have seen glass flares that are very tough and rigid - these are NOT them. Perfect for my intended use and they look really good but I can't underscore enough how much work ($$$) went into what you see right there. I could have glassed them for the same price in the end! the entire sides of the car were repainted at the same time due to all the "fitment" scratches and such.
I'm going to start a new thread in "garage" to not hijack this anymore.

Well all the work was worth it as your car looks great.
Question: Any pictures of your splitter build and the materials you used? Really nice job and so clean.
Have you ever thought of hill climbing that beauty? Some of the Southern events I've seen on line have shown some challenging hills.

Brit just picked up some monster rear flares that cover the 12s on 12s. I've only seen pics but they look good. You need some of those.
Posted by: Cracker Apr 25 2012, 10:31 AM
There are no hill climbs in my future. It might take a little while but when I have the front end off I'll try to remember to shoot some pics for you. The splitter is mounted independant of the air dam assembly (other than the two struts which quickly can be removed). As strong as the CF airdam is I wouldn't mount the splitter to it as a main support system.
The spliter is a real CF and Kevlar around foam core unit. It is 1/2" thick with a beveled front and strong as hell. It was made in conjunction with the airdam by Prototype Composites in Milwaukee, WI. (Sp?).

Do you know which ones he used?

Was the splitter a one off build by Prototype Composites or something they sell?

Those look like they fit well.
Understand they will fit 12" wheels, but not sure how they would look with 11"ers?

Hey Randal,
I've been running Rennspeed flares all around, for over 10 years and can recommend them. Their pricing CANNOT be BEAT!!

Tks for the information- will check it out. I was at Infineon on Saturday and think I saw your car. Very very nice. No one was around, so missed you. You were parked next to my buddy Mike A. in his 914-6 that needs a paint job!

I made a whole thread over in the Garage on all the different fender options that I could find...it is http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=172075&st=20.
Here is my set-up. QRS Fiberglass front fenders widened about 1.5" and GT-Racing Rear Flares. 
-Britain
Posted by: Britain Smith May 18 2012, 12:39 PM
BTW, the car is much lower now...I had to cut some material off the front fenders for wheel clearance because my front wheels no longer swing in the same arch as stock...because it is double a-arm and not struts.

Are those radial or cross ply slicks?
Posted by: Britain Smith May 18 2012, 11:20 PM
Radials. I like them much better than the Canti's!

On a car like yours who wouldn't like 11 and 13 inch slicks.
Looks like you got a bit too much camber dialed in on the rear, but maybe that was a WIDE corner?
