Those members that may have seen my project thread recently may recall that this last summer I had a HELL of a time working with a set of front, rear and side-valences. I don't want to speak poorly, but let's just say after digging in to this portion of a modification / restoration, I came to the conclusion the product could have been produced much better.
As we have FRP capability in-house from the manufacture of our driving and racing simulators, I would now like to offer sets of these to the 914 community. Unique to this product, is the ability to mount the front valance to the car body using 2x studs, making the installation, removal and adjustment much easier than the stock-setup. Additionally, the rear valance is pre-cut and setup for dual-exhaust using the same dimension and shape as the stock rear valance. What I can guarantee from the end-product... - Superior quality and materials - On-time production and delivery - A great product, requiring significantly less work and a better fit-and-finish I've attached a few photos of the modeling process and we are currently making molds, with the first pieces expected in the next few days. Eager to get feedback from the community, and look forward to any comments. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

Enrique - what ever you charge will be worth it to the person who doesn’t want to do major glass work. Most buyers of fiberglass parts don’t realize cutting the bumpers into pieces and glassing back to fit is the norm, no matter what company you buy from.

I remember as the guys entered the third-weekend of work on the project thinking to myself, "How does anyone afford this?" For those reading along, including a few more photos of the rear valance that I snapped before going off to finishing / mold work... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
