Okay, so here's a new thread because I resurrected an old one that was off topic...yes I should've known better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Just wanting to know a little bit more about this style of fender work on the blue car.

Is this custom work or an aftermarket replacment? I don't think I've seen anything close to this in my 10 months of stalking in the forums. But my first impression is that I really like it. Subtle but still curvy. If it's custom, who among us would be doing this type of work...I imagine rolling fenders is a bit of a lost art nowadays.

Look for pictures of "GTEENER". The Cap'n can tell you about how that one was done.

We've also seen pictures of VW Rabbit flares used on a 914, and it was similar but I think a bit less subtle.

LOL I did a Members search for GTEENER and it's over 7pages of topics. One topic alone was dbl digit page count (Oil Cooler thread). After two hours I'm not seeing any flared pics. What am I missing? I'm gonna try searching on Member FERG since he posted the only copy of this car that I've seen so far.

But first I'm going to get some sleep. Zzzz Zzzz
