I am looking at the slot behind the shift lever and saying yes (hand throttle).

Passenger side flare is on and checked the fit with tires. Perfect in back and I may need a 1/2 - 3/4" spacer up front.
I wish I had some weight in the car to see a better ride height . This weekend will be both fronts and finish welding.

Well the flares sure look nice in raw metal but now after the prep and primer I cant wait to see them in a high gloss canary yellow. I was worried about the sail pannels from the start since they were so bad but all the trim fits perfect. Thanks to my buddy Kent and Restoration Design !!

Too bad no one can find the molds for those factory flares. The tops are so smooth compared to the wrinkles in the aftermarket pieces! They are gorgeous!

It's not the molds that are wavy, it's the way the metal gets pulled and stretched over the mold. It's not perfect but since Porsche isn't making more of these, it's the best we can get.
