If anyone here that may be able to reproduce these baby's it would be a bonus for all the 914 owners. If so, let me know and I will trace these out and send you the tracings of the liners. The pictures are of the rear well liners. Let me know so I can trace these out and get them off before I install these. I'm only going to put liners in the rear wells since I have oil lines in the pass. side front I won't be installing the front liners on my car. The rear liners are going in. The are made of a flexable plastic with clips on each for install. They bolt on to the car where the rear valance meets the wheel well and other side connects where the rocker panel meets the well. Very simple install process, the clips that hold them are pop riveted on to the liners.

As far as the patent issue, if you do not apply for a patent within 12 months of the date you start to sell an item they will be considered to be in the public domain and would not be eligible. Anybody could copy and sell the item at that point.
Even if a patent was applied for these would have to be a new and unique item (no one has ever received a patent for a similar item in the past for any vehicle). I find it hard to believe that the 914 is the only car that has ever had liners made for it. As a side note, I would be in for a set if someone decides to make them and sell them at a reasonable price point. |
