Ok, I've been doing some research into fiberglass parts, since I'm not gonna pay over 2k for steel flares for the race car.
Who's stuff is the best? Who's stuff is the best value? Who sucks? I've been looking around, I see a lot of folks selling AIR and GT-Racing products (but not telling you that). The car is a track only car, but I still want it to look like a real 914, otherwise Sheridan's kit would be the only choice. I'd like it to be presentable so I could throw plates on it and take it out to a cruise or carshow, etc... I'm planning on using my 951 fuch's 8's in front with 9's in the rear. Thanks in advance! |

QUOTE(seanery @ Jan 16 2003, 09:25 PM) Chris, After installing the bumpers and valence, what are your thoughts on the GT-Racing stuff? Honestly, I have no prior experience with fiberglass. But the front bumper was a new mold and really seems like a quality piece to me. The only trimming needed was on the brackets, and that was very simple. It bolted up to the stock dogbones and wheel well mount points. One bummer is that he didn't have any without the foghorn grille areas cut out already. However, the way I mounted up the bumper and also my AMB transponder is thru the foghorn grille area. Then I made some aluminum sheet metal covers to close off the holes (I am not using the lamps at this point) The lower spoiler/valence is not from GT; actually I have no clue who made it. |
