Ok, I've been doing some research into fiberglass parts, since I'm not gonna pay over 2k for steel flares for the race car.
Who's stuff is the best? Who's stuff is the best value? Who sucks? I've been looking around, I see a lot of folks selling AIR and GT-Racing products (but not telling you that). The car is a track only car, but I still want it to look like a real 914, otherwise Sheridan's kit would be the only choice. I'd like it to be presentable so I could throw plates on it and take it out to a cruise or carshow, etc... I'm planning on using my 951 fuch's 8's in front with 9's in the rear. Thanks in advance! |

I get my glass from Steve Limbert at Air Cooled Racing, he doesn't actuall make it but has a guy that does it for him. He has (I think) three different fenders for the 914 an E-Production set (which is what's on my car in the avatar), a GT-2 fender which is the same as the EP but wider (more flare) and the traditional 914 GT-6 flares. The ep fender works fine with 15x7 using 9 inch slicks, if your gonna run anything wider, or a wider track than is allowed by SCCA,I would recommend the GT-2 fenders (in the front for sure, the rears may be ok). It's quality stuff and priced reasonably. I think he also has a couple different bumper/air dam combinations.
