Hi guys,
just had a call on my white car from a guy who's not interested (any more) because I have fiberglass instead of steel fenders. This idea is new to me and want to read your (better informed) opinions on the statment, "the difference in stiffness is like night and day". I personally seriously doubt that I or anyone else would be able to notice the difference in stiffness in the car with fiberglass fenders vs. one with steel fenders. All I could tell the guy was that this idea is very new to me, since the entire suspension has nothing to do with the fenders themselves. So, just to be sure...please, lemme know your thoughts. Thanks! Mike in Munich (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

914's being of unibody construction, the fenders are part of the structure and I would imagine, play a role in keeping the twisting and flexing reduced.
