anybody have a template or source for a gravel shield for GT rear flare as pictured in DGBVWP
perhaps a 911/930 e-bay shield will work, but hate to spend $$ just to test one  TIA & see y'all at Rennsport |

I was thinking you could mask your own off using pin-striping tape.. shape it any way you like, mask of the rest, then use Plasti-dip and lay on 6-8 coats. I think it would look good, and can be peeled off fairly easily. A can of the stuff is around $5. I did some Plasti-dip on my Audi grill / emblems and was amazed how easy it is to do and how good it looks.

I'm pretty sure those are 911 ones. Not sure how well they fit unmodified.

The picture shows a 930 gravel shield.
Good material but the 930 shape is not a good match for the 914 GT flares. I like the PlastiDip idea. |

Just buy some Black Vinyl and do it that way (3M 1080)
If you dont like it you can peel it off and try a different shape. Or as it wears you can just peel it off and put on a new one. 5ft X 1ft $16 http://www.metrorestyling.com/3M-1080-M22-...atte1080m22.htm or about $5 sqft for clear bra material http://www.metrorestyling.com/Premium-Clea.../paintpro24.htm |

Use the clear bra stuff if you aren't looking to change color. I've got it on mine & love it.

I used the clear armorguard type stuff on mine did the front ones and lower gt valance also works great easy to install. You can find the stuff on Ebay.

thanks for the ideas
getting a proper "french curve" look was my main concern with DIY - had already made a paper template also had/have concerns about the stuff conforming w/o wrinkles & bubbles cuz even xpel light shields & flat vinyl cling graphics have those issues when installing found this DIY stone guards - Rennlist i will try it with Alpina clear film which i have on shelf . |
