So.... After 40+ years the fiberglass is separating from the metal, in a stable way. It never gets any worse than it is shown below (5 years of owning the car) but there isn't any easy way for me to 'correct' this without a deep dive I don't have time for (vintage grand prix at the Glen on September 5th). I was just going to accept the cracks but I began to think about stickers. I was thinking a couple mobil pegasus on the front fenders (I use mobil1) but the rear quarter have me stumped. What would work with my blue grey paint? Something nodding to karmann or onsnabrook or the 914 but it needs to cover the issues.
I don't want to plaster Porsche stickers on it. I want it to be interesting. Suggestions? I suspect 4 inches wide would be optimal. Length would depend on the design. I know it's hard to see some of the issues in the photos but I wanted to give some perspective for the kind of area the sticker would be in. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Ask a competent body shop. However, don't think putting stickers over the cracks will keep the cracks from showing through.
Consider fixing the fiberglass, cracks, and making the surface flat. Then one big sticker (vinyl wrap) maybe? If you don't fix the car's body/surface, the imperfections are going to show in the vinyl wrap. Also, the cracks will just get worse. |
