Nothing better than making your own. Everyone has a different take on what one should be.

I like it...I'm feeling those flares a little more that the GT flares.
Helluva garage! |

The rear flares look OK but the fronts make me want to puke, that just looks hideous ...

A lot of money spent and a lot of expensive parts used in a build that might
appeal to a limited audience and yes, you couldn't build that level of quality for the asking price.. But it is WAY too modified to someones personal taste to appeal to most. Personally I think it is ugly and unfortunate... But that is just my opinion.. |

As someone who has an extensively modified 914 to my taste I think he did a great job with it! Fenders we're probably done early 2000s when the GT flares where hard to come by and poor quality. The rest of the car is really well done.

It must be interesting to get into it with that roll bar brace across the entry. Also not sure if you can roll down the window with the door closed ??
