Gauging Interest - GT Front / Rear Valance Options

[RiqueMar]

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)

Sign me up Rique! I only have a singe rear exhaust though & it's a larger tip than common. Can I get one without Exhaust cutouts? Just be easier to cut mine exactly where I need it.

Hi @JRust - If I understand correctly, you're looking for the valance and you will cut the indentations for the exhaust exists yourself? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

From a business perspective that makes more sense. I don't know of any off-the-shelf 914 muffler with 2 outlets in stock and mirror locations.

one- Triad dual tip, the right side/passenger location is exact mirror to the stock location on left. he does a dual tip with right side hidden facing down due to the lack of valences i think , but i had mine made with dual out and valence custom modified , that was 10 years ago, and it looks great. - any way just wanted people to know Dave at Triad west does several versions, and with someone making a valance that ould work with the dual out muffler i bet this is a win win for dave and the valance maker.
