....best yet, but they may interfere with visibility while driving, so you may want to bring them both inside while driving, utilizing the 914's infamous 2+1 seating!

SICK car need to look byndbad914 up, love some of the things he did!
Are these custom rolled fenders on the blue car with checkered flag theme? And if so, does anyone still do this kind of work? I've heard of the dying art of 'baseball bat' rolling. Anyways, sorry to ressurect an old thread. I found this thread when looking for racing stripe ideas. Man I love these fenders!!!!

One of my favorites but I always thought the flames should be on the front edge of the rear trunk lid.
It's just tape to test out the look.

Fantastic thread. I'm hoping to stripe my narrow body car (or something) instead of a respray.

Added some blue vinyl for the Rennsport meeting last year.
So I am being a little dangerous here, and I like the nostalgic look of the 65 Shelby GT 350. Doing a little research here I found out that those are a tapered stripe. I am sure that has something to do with why they are so striking, even though they are plain to to eye.
However, The Shelby is a bigger car. So I thought to make it look right I would have to scale them down for a 914.
The Stripes on the Shelby start at 9.25" and run to 10.5" at the Windshield. They run over the roof but I will disregard that. They pick up at the front edge of the rear deck @ 10.375" and end at the rear deck edge at 10.00 even. They have 2" of seperation.
The Shelby is 181.5 " Long vs the 914 @ 159.4 approx 13.8% longer. The Shelby is 68.1" Wide vs the 914 @ 65. so the Shelby is only 4.7" wider.
So this is what I am thinking, taking the Shelby Dimmensions and scaling
From this
9.25
10.5
10.375
2"
to
8.878 or converting to MM 223.2
9.975 253.35
9.985 254.42
9.5 241.3
1.90 .48
So I figured it was probably better to scale for the witdth than the overall length.
But I am unsure about this.
Before I have these cut, does any one want to check my math, sanity, thought process, etc.
Centered on the car these should frame the Porsche Logo, actually at 48mm the emblem wont fit but I don't intend to put one on anyway, and make it inside of the headlight buckets.

My question is what do you think of the taper, has anyone done that? Will the look scale cleanly and did I scale it correctly?
Thanks
