I just bought my first 914 and it just showed up this morning from the west coast. So needless to say, I’m new to the board and the car…. My first order of business is to start collecting parts needed to begin body work. This leads me to my question:
Steel GT fenders VS Fiberglass. Has anyone used fiberglass fenders on their street cars??? Have they cracked??? Have they held up to the true test of time??? Or should I save up and get the steel ones?? Thanks for any feedback! |

Ya and you can repair fiberglass pretty easily if it does crack. And if you get hit on the flare, whether it be steel or fiberglass, your gonna have to do some work and repaint so it realy doesnt matter what the material in that aspect.
Although if I had the money and another car I would go with steel just because it seems alot nicer and more like a factory built car. My car currently currently has fiberglass flares, bumpers and rockers all molded together like Sir Andy's and I'm pretty confident in it's strenght, but just to be safe I gonna add something like Engmans stiffening kit. |
