For those that have installed fender flares, what have you done with the sheet metal that was removed to install the flares? I don't plan on going back. 914's don't typically rust out in the wheel opening. Recycle?

Use it for rust repair, that way the car has "original" sheetmetal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think Rav914 was looking for those pieces, or at least some of them.

Save them for patch panels. I have not done flares, but have had to cut out other stuff. The scrap, if in good shape, always gets saved.

Put them in your attic. I don't think they make them any more.

you will have an immediate need when you patch the side marker holes. Then stow them somewhere - you never know.

One of mine yielded the side marker patches, the antenna patch and a repair on the lower rear of my left fender.

Yep, he got ahold of me. Glad someone could use at least one of them!

I hate to cut up well formed metal and would rather give to those in need.

I am amassing a small fortune in these panels. The way I see it, once this " GT " fad wears off, I will be rolling in loot selling all these NLA stock sections back to you trend followers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Well I too save mine for years... just last Nov- I trashed them as I figure that there are so many people cutting up cars. I can always get a panel here and there... oh ya I need to clean my parts area as that's what caused this decision.
