Hi Everyone
Does anyone have a good side view picture of a GT flared 914 with matching rocker panels? I can only find angled side view pictures. I'm trying to understand the contour of the fender flare to rockers flare alignment and wheel well arch line. I purchased mb911 rocker flare end pieces and I'm trying to install them. Thanks |

Here’s a pic on a private built GT. Just remember that the fiberglass rockers of the GT’s didn’t match the contours well and even had variations in length from left to right. You have the chance to make your rockers fit better than the factory ever did.

I'm converting stock rockers with mb911's flare ends. |

I'm converting stock rockers with mb911's flare ends. I have a set of them as well. Hopefully I can get Ben to weld them up for me some day. I would imagine you clamp the ends to your rockers, move them around until they look right and then cut the rocker and weld on the ends. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The install of flares can be off an inch or so and each car is different. Test fit. Then cut and weld. Bob B |
