Man these are pretty... as was the packing it came in.

Good Job Mark!

Are you guys going to be doing any bumpers as well? Looking to ditch my 916 setup.

Could you ship these via greyhound? I have shipped a couple very large but not heavy items via greyhound and they were surprisingly affordable.

Happy to ship best way. So far if we crate individually they can ship Fedex ground, just not cheap west cost about $160 a box

Do you have photos of the front you can share?

I can get some pics of the finish tomorrow. It's a white Gel coat. Not really a finished part, but ready for paint with some minimal prep.

Any update

I would also be interested in a rear trunk lid.

Thank you

We've been reworking our fright rates with LT and asked Fedex for special rating for the hoods. We are waiting for Fedex to finalize their numbers, but will be in full production soon.

On another note the rear 1/4 panels mold were pulled in carbon fiber and we have door skins we did in fiberglass these molds will come on line shortly too.

Also the lower air dam with brake cooling ducts. We have 2 other variants we are working on too. So we can offer an air dam with a cooling package including cooling plates we are working on too!
Lots of new stuff

door skins too
These are fiberglass but will be available in carbon fiber too

Oooooo ... I'd be interested in a CF front lid with headlight delete and the white surface. Always wanted to delete the pop-ups and fabricate something similar to Felix's 'Neo-914' headlights in the turn signal buckets

I don't see them listed on the site yet


Also, has Oscar's offer to provide a receiving/distribution 'hub' for shipping to So Cal been discussed any further?

Does the air dam line up with GT front flairs or are they designed for Sheridan front fenders?

I'm assuming so, but have yet to pull and mate up parts. As you can see this is not a quick process, and we have made some changes to the parts to make them more user friendly (like adding the substructure to the front and rear skins).

I did also wind up with some "extra" molds so I have to see what fits what.

Awesome!! Thanks for the response!! Looking forward to it!!

When can I get a pair of rear fenders??
Thanks

Here's the deal I have 2 sets of molds. This is the 1st set we reconditioned and pulled from.

It will take me a few weeks but I can have an example of those up shortly. I also have some fronts I'm working on too.

So yes I could sell you what I have made here but you might want to hold tight a bit longer as the rest come on line.

Mark

Thanks for the PM, Mark

What will be the difference between what these and the ones coming later?

The flare looks more like the GT and it extends up the 1/4 panel as one piece.

I actually like the flares that you are showing now. I’d like a pair of them. Can you PM me a price shipped to 93465. Thanks.

Seems like it's tough dividing time between production and making new molds.

@Mikey914 Any word on the availability of the rear deck lid?

We are in production never fully opened up the GB as we were trying to figure out all the moving pieces (mostly shipping and crating). We do have these squared away but with the accounting changeover we had set this aside.
Just PM me which you want (carbon fiber or fiberglass) drop me an address and I can quote.
Thanks for checking,
Mark
PS we hope to get the ball fully rolling in another month.

Finally got the GT version with the factory glass done.

rear

more

one more

The Balsa was actually difficult to get. Unfortunately some of my materials are starting to increase in price too.

Mark,

Any estimate on when you might have the "race" hood without headlights? Ideally looking for a vented (Subaru conversion), fiberglass hood without the popups...

Thanks,

Mike

We have a fiberglass with the headlight delete option. The louvers are another animal. We have to start from scratch on what we have and I have the Saratoga tops in line 1st, so it will be awhile before we could get to that.

Let me know if you want the one we have made up.

Mark

Mark,

I'm interested in the one you have made up. I sent you a PM...

Thanks,

Mike

What is the price point on these again?

The GT's are a little more in that they use the factory type glass and the balsa was more than I thought it would be. Believe it or not there is a shortage...???

I should be able to crunch the numbers and post up shortly. Just got back in this morning from a 5 day marathon trp.

Mark

How about Bass wood? almost as light as balsa.

If you were close I'd give you a couple thousand board feet of kiln dried Bass wood.

The balsa we bought was specially scored to be laid up in fiberglass, but given the issues we had getting it it might be worth looking at alternatives. I think the amount of material we are using there may be a small weight difference. I'd have to play with it to see how it would work.

Id be interested in the front carbon fiber with light deletes.

Laid up the front end mold. Will have pics in a day or 2.

Accounts for flairs, oil cooler cut out, air dam and turn signal deletes all in one.

Out of the molds! One piece with lip edge to help with alignment.

Still need to clean up but now we have the hoods, the rear fenders, the door skins, and soon the rocker panels.

Also another surprise part will be ready soon.

I like!

The only problem we are having is shipping. Thinking that we can crate a complete kit and ship most cost effectively. It's one of the reasons we had not really been promoting the parts. If you have a couple hindered in shipping and a crating charge, it would be best spread out over the complete kit.
Looking at a kit comprised of
front end piece (as shown)
2 rear fenders
front hood
rear hood
door skins
rocker panels
+??

other than a rear decklid with a spoiler i have most of the other fiberglass i intend to use, the front end can be made easier to ship by cleckoing aluminum on the outside then cutting it in half or thirds or whatever fits in the box best. but you can always sway me with your quality goodies

We can do that. The issue I was starting to look at is it's relative. There is a cost to segment the part. There is also a cost to crate and ship both ways. From what I can tell, it looks like it's about a wash. Knowing that it would be easier (and stronger) to do as one piece. I had originally thought that it would significantly reduce cost as the crate is smaller, but still have to build one.

Im still in, just hit me with a price

Will do after WCR. Im heading out to the day job for 4 days, then pack and drive.
Mark

No problem!

All of these parts look great!

curious to know if you are considering making stock or GT flared front fenders in fiberglass. I'm sure as most of you are aware, looks like QRS is gone.

Thanks, Kelly

We can, would need to make a mold. Anyone have a set hanging out?

I have always enjoyed this thread and thought these Carbon Fiber deck lids and frunks looked great. I wonder if those who have purchased either the Carbon or Fiberglass versions could provide some pics of fitment on your 914's?

I love everything 914 Rubber does, but it would still be nice to see how these products fit on actual 914's in the field, as, after 50 years, everyone's car is probably a little different. Also, @Mikey914 , did you ever create a FG or CF engine lid?
