Hi I'm looking for some guidance on which steel GT arches I should purchase for my original -6 project
I would especially like to hear from members and the body shop pro's who have fitted the various options I'm asking the question because I almost pulled the trigger on a set of originals the other day. But as we all know they are serious $$$ and that is if you can find them. Once I've paid shipping and customs they would be $$$$. With so many other parts to purchase I hesitated over the return key..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Presumably originals would be 1st choice but who's would be next in terms of fit, finish, minimal filler, closest to a factory shape, minimise the work to replicate the factory width wheel lip (what is the correct width?) etc One of my issues is that 914s are so thin on the ground here that it's not like I can pop around and examine another cars GT arches, let alone have a factory car, RD and AA parked in a row to help me come to a decision (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Help! |

when I was looking for my flares I called Restoration and Design and they were just reselling the AA flares. So unless things have changed in a year that is what I learned.
