Any one get the email from George Hussey in regards to the completion and subsequent sale of the infamous AA 914 fender flares??
Ready to purchase at $995.

Damn, Craig!

Where was THAT car when I was buying?!

I saw the mail and read the link, the prototypes look pretty good.
I doubt that I'll be first in line, but may end up there. What ever happened
to the $750 price they were asking? Once the product is close the price goes up?

i think you're thinking about the PP flares and not the AA flares

Sorry this was an email from George. Not Wayne.
CCLinLOO

no, ol george used to have ads in Pano and Excell. for a lower price than his website for the steel repros.

I wish it were Wayne that was producing the flares, you'd trust that the money would buy something other than a new car for hussey.

Craig,

Have you got more pics of this car?
Details?

They collected money for how long ??

B

Sorry I was wrong, $950.00 not $995.00.

They were collecting money when I bought the blue car in '99.
I'm not sure how long before that.

For your research, http://autoatlanta.com/Life/gt.html. this is a the Flare Witch Project story.

Ha! I've figured it out! It's a pyramid scheme! Here's the deal:

1) Get 100 people to give you $700 each for flares
2) Buy 50 sets of flares for $1,400
3) Ship flares to first 50 people.
4) First 50 people tell community they got their $700 flares.
5) 100 more people pay $700 each.
6) Buy 50 more sets of flares for $1,400 and ship to second 50 customers.
7) More people get excited and another 100 orders are placed.
8) Keep this up until you can't keep up.

I went thru the article. They are doing them correctly. The tooling and trim dies look bitchin. I'm seriously impressed. I now wonder if Wayne@PP was/is working a deal with them ??

Just order the flares from autoaltanta will net you know how good they are when I get them John Morgan

Because I think I'm incredibly funny, I'll repeat what I said on Rennlist.



Not available... but available for pre-order - typical AA.

"The Flare Witch Project" - your wallet disappears and you have nothing to show for it but grainy pictures.

-Rusty

the flairs will be here next week I will let you know if they are worth it

I was spamed again last night for that company, this time with a color advertisement of the flares. They claim they're in stock. BTW, I wasn't serious when I pasted to the 914 list!

Morgan could you fill in your location. Thanks Also how much were you quoted for shipping, for the flares from AA?
Thanks

AA has an ad posted for the flares in the classifieds here.

As well as www.spincasino.com

It looks like the flares may be available. Z's best buddy, Treadway, has a set for sale on eBay.

Interesting, Paul.

Notice that there are no pictures in the ad, other than the advertising shot they'e been using for a while?

Treadway? You reading this? Put up individual pictures of each flare, front and back and someone might bid.

-Rusty

i would hold out and buy them from wayne.

Any time I'm in a shitty mood, I go read Treadway's feedback on ebay.....always makes me smile.






Treadway.....geez....

starting bid is higher than I want to pay. I'd pay $600.00 and they'd make money. Aution clearly lists the shipping & handling $ 35.00 that's fair.

Shows he's as trustworthy as Sadam & Bin Laden.

You must take pictures of the flares along with a copy of today's Wall Street Journal and place them in the auction or we will "liberate" you.

Operation AA freedom!
its like a ransom......you pay then you see what you bought for all we know, you bought the farm@

Here's the deal for you guys who don't want to deal with George at AA. My factory steel GT flares are for sale @ $2,600.00 plus freight. I then buy George's for $950 & pocket the difference or use for installation. My last purchase from AA was a set of floor mats. I was pleasantly surprised when they were delivered on time and George matched the Porsche logo color to the yellow color of my 914. My experience has been good using AA.
