As you can see from the picture below I had an off at Streets of Willow that did a number on the sheet metal on the car. From my initial investigation, the damage doesn't appear to go beyond the outer skin (fenders and door skin) of the car.
I've always wanted a flared car, but my wife is starting to push for me to start working towards a 911. In peoples opinion, with a 'hot rod' like the car is, would glass flares (riveted or bonded) increase or decrease the desirability of the car over putting stock fenders back on? I have already provisioned and committed to buy stock parts, but it's not that big of a deal at this point. Price is always an issue to consider, but the QRS flares seem affordable. You can see more about the off here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=233699  |

Looking at Metal Surgeon's bodywork is like me watching Eric Clapton play guitar. I play guitar, but I KNOW I'm never going to be that good.
