Hey this is what I'm thinking for the rear. I'm open to suggestions.

ON TO THE QUARTER PANEL

This is the direction that I'm going with to cut in the 1/4 panel to couch the air to water intercoolers as well as the cold air intakes. The cut will taper from o" depth at the door to 12" depth at the back. Notice how the top cut line is not level, it actually tapers up to follow that ever so slight rise in the 914 silhouette. The bottom line is parallel with the rocker panel.

By the way does anyone know how tall those Porsche side panel stickers are? The ones that go along the bottom of the door. I need a pair but in the negative. I'm thinking of dark metallic charcoal grey for the entirety of the car and then spraying the Porsche sticker logo in a Carrera silver along the bottom of the doors, like the stickers. I may continue that silver into the intake at the 1/4 panels. The rockers will be in black and they will follow the silhouette of the fenders.

Looking awesome!!

When you say 12" depth at the back is that measured off the OEM quarter panel or from the corresponding point on your flares? Asking since it looks like the heat exchangers will be in the wheel wells.

From the OEM 1/4 panel. The heat exchangers will not be in the wheel wells.

<b>@ValcoOscar </b> that's what I'm looking for. But I need the silver part to be open. I would use the sticker to spray the silver portion onto the car then pull the sticker off. How tall is the sticker? I need to know so that I don't cut the 1/4 panel too tall. By the way what is Chucky's. I google it and all I get is the chucky doll. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

I dropped by Rudy's yesterday and checked out his build. It's on another level entirely. His shop is a fabricators dream and what impresses me is he knows how to use all of that equipment. I watched him program a pattern on his computer with a CAD program then transfer it to the computer on his plasma cutting machine. I'm pretty sure it would take me about 11 years just to master what he did in under an hour. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I think his decision to go back with the Audi drivetrain is a smart move even though the LS is a popular power plant. This build with the combination of the Audi drivetrain and super wide trac and huge tires should be a rocket off the line and insane through the turns. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
