I recently embarked (three years ago) on a complete re-build of my 1974 914 1.8 litre. As I have posted previously, I am nearing completion (haha). A very capable long time fabricator here in our neck of the woods (socal) helped me to sort out the crappy fiberglass rockers and spoilers that are the bane of ay 914 GT conversions exsitence.

John Cato is the name of the fabricator I speak of. Some of you will recognize the name and say, "I thought he stopped working on Porsches?" Well he did a little bit, but my dad twisted his arm and here we are. John took the crap that was the front spoiler and fixed it up nice for my purposes. So nice that he, on my urging, splashed it and is able to offer it to you. The piece is very affordable at $395.00 including shipping in the US. The pictures below show how nice the piece came out and John is a very credible guy. You can reach him at 888-757-4747. Normal West Coast Business Hours.

Nice job. How are you doing the rockers ?

Where is John located ? City...
Twise
The rockers are glass and were already flared - I just could not find a flared front spoiler. In fact, I couldn't find one without the front cooler opening. John is located in Valley Center CA - northeast of San Diego.

Looks good.

Is there one with the GT oil cooler cutout? Or one that actually looks like a GT?

This piece was made from the AIR piece that we are all so familiar with. However for my purposes I filled in the opening for the cooler. I am not running a front mounted oil cooler and did not want to have the opening for show. I like the look of it, and figured that cutting the opening in later was easy enough. In fact, John would probably do it for you. I did not want to hack up my bumper just to have the LOOK. The piece from AIR was very, well, UN-Straight to be nice. This piece is very straight and you will simply have to bolt it up, as it comes in black gel-coat. We did all the work for you... Call John if you are interested.

Just received it piratenanner.gif . I am going to put a few coats on it and wait to wax it. I will postpic in a month when it is all on the car. Great product.

Man just catching up on this thread - That looks sweet man. I remember when my bumpers were black. You just popped that sucker on you lucky bastard. Mine is being painted as we speak... I knew there was at least one other person who could use one flared and without the oil cooler opening...
PeeGreen 914
everyone who has seen it says it looks kick ass. I am sure you must be itching to get it on there. Do you know if he uses a black gel coat? Seems as though many guys use a white gel coat, and after a little time they look like sheit. So far mine has not had this happen, but I put a few coats of paint and waxed it.

Looks excellent (however, no where near a GT style).

Seriously, it looks REALLY NICE. I'm not trying to pee on the parade, just maybe change the title?? confused24.gif

GT spoilers come flared, with the cooler opening and w/o the brake duct openings. E.G.:

Hey Eric bye1.gif

I think he is reffering to the fact it is flared for the GT fenders. Thus making it a spoiler for GT type cars, or making it a GT spoiler. biggrin.gif

Oh. blink.gif

I guess I was confused by this:

"...made from the GT piece that we are all so familiar with."

I'm easily confused though. Looks nice.
PeeGreen 914
I guess that is confussing and doesn't really make sense.

Yea sorry - too much coffee that morning, cause I am reading that now and thinking that is idiotic and makes no sense, plus I kinda typed the same thing twice. Way tooo much coffee is my excuse. Editing now, sans coffee...

Sorry, you really gotta call John for that info. I inspired him to make the piece for my car, but he is the one making the pieces as needed. He is not on the board, so will not see your post. Give him a call. Super nice guy. I am reluctant to post his e-mail address. If you really want another way to get a hold of him - PM me your email adress and I will pass it along...
