In the almost year I have been acvite on the club, I have seen or heard about lots of glass flares being installed on 914's. Rick(alien) mentioned once he had to pull the lower corners out, add some material to keep them there. Others mentioned being able to see glass mat through the paint ect. Well, I will post more detialed pic's of course, but here is a couple of the flares I am putting on CAMP914's V8 car. His yellow on had rear flares installed (FG) and I am putting the front ones on for him.

Here is the other side, only ones I have for now. I carefully sand down the glass flare edge after screwing on the flares to lower the FG and pre form it even better to the fender. Then I carefully glass and mat between the screws front and back. On Craigs car here, the PO sprayed the tar underbody in the fender wells. Great stuff, until you try to remove it! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I still have little black specs on my face (tar). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) I usually only grind down to bare metal only as far back as I need, 1-2" is about all you need. After this weekend, I will post more close ups. This way Craig will see I am really working on his car too! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
