Great fiber glass body parts at the best prices, RennSpeed Motorsports is a great Porsche parts vendor Options

To all 914 pushers:

I took a run to RennSpeed Motorsports today and bought some spare 914 parts:

-A set of 11" rear flares: $175
-A set of rocker panels (to mate with my 9" front & 11" rear flares) $175

I wanted to pass on the info about this company as the prices are great and the parts are well made. I have had my original set since 2002 and can recommend
the quality: all parts come with a thick white gel coat and a very smooth and flaw-free finish.

Peter Ng is the company owner and a great guy to deal with. His prices can't be beat, however, since he hasn't raised his prices since 2002, he told me he would have to due to his increased cost.

check out his site for the 914 offerings:

As a "heads-up" if you are looking for fiber glass parts, order now before his raises
the prices.

Enjoy,
Terry

Hate to pee in the Cheerio's but...

I have nothing but horror stories about their glass. I know glass is glass and it all needs work but this wasn't substancial - it was severe...

* 2 left mounts fiberglassed into my front bumper?
* 2" had to be cut from each side of my flared front GT valance just to get it "close".
* Entire top edge of the front GT bumper had to be cut and reglassed
* 16 total hours of shop time to make everything "presentable"

There's much better glass out there unless... things have changed over the last 6-7 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Hi Eric,

Sorry to hear about your troubles with Renn Speed parts. Since I have not had any problems with their IMSA nose, fender flares all around and rocker panels, I can't speak to what you experienced.

After the tire failures that tore off the rear flares & rocker panels, I've just done it all again and found the same good quality parts exactly like the first set.

You mentioned needing to trim their flares to fit, I did too, but assumed it was on purpose to allow extra material to fit any 914. My car was totaled and rebuilt by
a Mexican shop who found it OK to "sculpture" the rear quarter with 1/8" of bondo over the whole fender. The end result left a very assymetrical car. Regardless,
I was able to get a good fit with the left flare. I'll bet MOST 914s have had collision damage too, after 30+ years of life.

So there it is: 2 very different experiences from a vendor. One reason could be that we bought different front end pieces and therefore, different molds. I never asked the owner where he got his molds. They my well have come from different sources.

Regardless, I'm pleased to see you have the skills to make things turn out right for your car!

Best,
Terry
