See this pic of a 911 reminds me that I wanted to look into something like this for 914 flares. Has anyone done this? Is anything pre-cut available?

I have seen a couple of flared cars with that type of stonegard. Never saw an application sold for the 914 tho.

Your local "Clear-Bra" guy can do a clear version without spoiling the lines.

The front of the flares on my six are getting chipped really badly. I have been thinking about something like this.
I like the clear idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

QUOTE I like the clear idea. It works well. My friend tows a huge 5th wheel with his GMC deisel. The GMC has dualies and he has the rear fenders protected with Clear Bra. His previous truck was not protected and it made a huge difference. My RS clone is getting chips on the 9" flares... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

That brown 916 is making me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
Here is a example of how "invisible" the clear bra stuff is. Hood of my old signal orange, anyone see the line?  Same area, but super close and different light to show the line.  Ferg |
