I just bought my first 914 and it just showed up this morning from the west coast. So needless to say, I’m new to the board and the car…. My first order of business is to start collecting parts needed to begin body work. This leads me to my question:
Steel GT fenders VS Fiberglass. Has anyone used fiberglass fenders on their street cars??? Have they cracked??? Have they held up to the true test of time??? Or should I save up and get the steel ones?? Thanks for any feedback! |

Can anyone think of another reason why the following scenario occurred: A FG flared 914 owner's flares would separate from the body, so he used an aerospace glue to bond the flares to the car. The new adhesive worked great, but now that the flares will not separate from the car, the flares cracked. To me, that seems like an obvious problem with chassis flex. I hope that I'm wrong and everyone with fiberglass flares has no issues, the owner of the car lives long and propers, the seed from his loins is fruitful in the belly of his woman, etc. I also promise that if anyone's fiberglass flares separate from their car or cracks I will not say "I told you so!" since I gave that phrase up in the 3rd grade. Later, Don |
