For those that have installed fender flares, what have you done with the sheet metal that was removed to install the flares? I don't plan on going back. 914's don't typically rust out in the wheel opening. Recycle?

Use it for rust repair, that way the car has "original" sheetmetal biggrin.gif

I think Rav914 was looking for those pieces, or at least some of them.

Save them for patch panels. I have not done flares, but have had to cut out other stuff. The scrap, if in good shape, always gets saved.

Put them in your attic. I don't think they make them any more.

you will have an immediate need when you patch the side marker holes. Then stow them somewhere - you never know.

One of mine yielded the side marker patches, the antenna patch and a repair on the lower rear of my left fender.

Yep, he got ahold of me. Glad someone could use at least one of them!

I hate to cut up well formed metal and would rather give to those in need.

I say save them in case you want to convert back to narrow body in the future! laugh.gif

I am amassing a small fortune in these panels. The way I see it, once this " GT " fad wears off, I will be rolling in loot selling all these NLA stock sections back to you trend followers. rolleyes.gif

Well I too save mine for years... just last Nov- I trashed them as I figure that there are so many people cutting up cars. I can always get a panel here and there... oh ya I need to clean my parts area as that's what caused this decision.

Send them to Tulsa OK where they can be used as boomerangs to cut off the heads of parts stealin' varmints! mad.gif
