Hey Guys,

Well, I had a great response to my very first post and a lot of people seemed to get excited about the look of my American International Racing body kit. I haven't seen a lot of 914's with body kits on this forum and would like to see and hear about this minority of 914 owners.

I really like the Sheridan "narrow" (haha) version. If I ever own another 914, it will probably be one of those. My current car ain't getting flared.

Sir Andy, we're almost twins! I've got the "blended" GT bumpers too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

But I want the color of the car to the left (Arena Red Metallic) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Don't know if this falls under good, bad, or ugly, but it's my Chalon bodied -6. I'm trying to come up with a good paint scheme for a track car so I can freshen it up in the near future. Anyone have any ideas?

I thought the Chalon kit was a great update of the 70's design to the 80's turbo styling. I removed the "b" pillar "gills" and fabricated aluminum rockers. Just wish it wouldn't crack...

Dang, looks like you shot that pic Andy!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

One thing about that digital.. it Has to have a tripod to do still shots..

I like smoothed flares. Ie you cant barely notice their their, till your behind the car going, Whooah, thats wide.



No pics..

This isn't a fiberglass body kit, but a custom one off I did for a customer.

That yellow one reminds me of when I was way young...I use to take pieces from various plastic models and assemble them to make some crazy (read: UGLY) shit, someone stole one of my designs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
