I am working on building a 914 GT conversion. I am trying to duplicate the front GT oil cooler sheet metal ducting. I am considering buying a low cost fiberglass replica to use to make a steel version of it. Does anyone a better idea of how to approach this?

Not a total hi-jack question ...... but who makes the best GT style front f/g valance?

I bought mine from American International Racing (AIR).
I would do a search. Some require less fitment than others.

Thanks!

Getty Design, then A.I.R., Then GTRacing
Cool!! I have searched around and also found QRS, it looks ok but did not see any pictures of it installed. I will look for the ones you mentioned too.

After I get the fiberglass valance, I will do the upper steel bumper cutout to match, with walled in metal ...... and if someone else could use a GT bumper 'metal' wall mod ....... I might be able to help.

Thanks again for the helpful responses!!!

EDIT: I just saw the getty design and it looks 'proper'!!! It is more expensive but the proprtions look very good!! It says FRP which I assume is 'fiber reinforced plastic' ...... ?
