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

Hey rickthejetman,

Thanks for the compliment on the side scoops, since I made them myself.

I live near the ocean in SOCAL and thus was ablle to get a bunch of foam scraps from my local surf board shop for the cost of a 6-pack of beer. I shaped the scoops and made molds. After making my first pair of scoops, I recently made molds for them.

I also had to make molds for the feed-through channel to my oil coolers and fresh air intake on the right side, but those molds tore apart after the first use.

I looked at aftermarket sources for scoops, but nothing seemed to be a good fit so I was forced to make my own. They stand off the bodywork at 2-1/2" and are a good fit for the 914 lines. I have the BIG rear flares, so next time, I would make them taller. However, for a "modest V8 conversion" car, they are fine and appear to work well as they are.

Is your car a V8 conversion....or have you come up with the great idea of cooling a 6-Cyl WITHOUT running 30 feet of Aeroquip lines? If none of above, you really shouldn't need them: I tufted my car and found that the Porsche engineer's design
actually DOES flow air into the engine bay providing sufficient air to the 411 motor.

Best,
Terry

i have a subaru conversion so option "C". Its not done yet haven't quite figured out what i want to do with the intercooler and the oilcooler yet. I own an MR2 so thats where the sidemount intercooler ideas are coming from. thats why i got excited when i saw your scoops. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
maybe i could get you to post up a few more pictures? i work at a place that builds composite aircraft so i can get one of the guys to help me make my own molds.(i'm an aircraft mechanic)
