I think they are cool. Sure would cut down on noisy road debris being kicked up into the wheel wells!

I think they are a good idea as long as they do not get in the way of wheel/suspension travel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have fender well liners on my 914. We tried a while back to have these made but were unsuccessful. Here's hoping we might be able to get these made, I could always make a template and send it to whoever could make these. They have tabs on each end of the liners that bolt to the car, no holes need to be drilled to install these, Here's the old thread on the liners. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=9492&st=20

Just need to know the material. It looks like they could be made pretty simply. I'd be up for doing these. I'm assuming plastic, any idea on thickness? ABS I'm thinking?

Hey Mikey .. if you do make them could you see about leaving the outer edge long so that the Gt flare or beck bodied like me could mount the up to the inside and then trim the outer edge to the fender lip on the flare ??

Maybe offer a stock fit set, and then a trim-to-fit set?

How about a longer part with the stock shape embossed into it. Easy owner cut with a utility knife. I mold, I part. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm for a set of rears!

Doesn't the piece needs to be flexible? Maybe I'm confused as to where they go exactly... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

In front of the wheels to keep road debris out of the jack post area.

How about a full surround to seal the wheel well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The liners are flexible,,, its some kind of plastic. They conform to he well very good.
On each end is a L shaped tab, one end attaches to the car the other end is attached to the liner, very simple install.

From the research I've done, I'll need to make the clips for these too.

My thought about the standard and then the modified. The idea is to produce these as cost effectively as possible. So, if I made then to be trimed and pur in the extra tooling to emboss them, I could sell them for $85 each, or a make them standard and make the parts available to to cut to fit and bond to the standard piece, because there are many variations to the fenders as there are fiberglass and steel and if they are not mounted uniformly, it would never be right for everyone.
Making these standard I could make them at $75 per set and provide the additional material and bonding agent so they would be modified as required an exact fit to your car. less cost for everyone.

I'm looking at the rubber on the edge as an option.

After calling around to check on the original manufacturer, I found that the company is out of business and the owner diseased. These will not be available from that source again. I also called Brad to make sure he wasn't making these as I didn't want to step on him it that was the case. It's not.

I've been looking for these for awhile. They used to be sold from an ad in panorama and were made out of abs. I would be in for some for sure.

I doubt ABS would be that great of an option. I would do something like TPO (thermoplastic olefins). You get good flexibility, great impact resistance (depends on grade, or percentage of rubber in the compound) and good uV resistance would be available. ABS has terrible UV resistance, although it might not matter here. ABS is fairly rigid too. A good rock strike could crack the material. Just me $.02
