Can't find the drawing I did years ago but this rendering sorta gets it. Basically the GT flares with the 'bulge' tapered like 911s.




I hope one day to build a 914 that looks like that.

Well I'll jump in here and show you what your car would look like with the Tangerine flares on. It sounds like what you're trying to do anyway.

I have 7s and 8s x16 w/ 225 50 16 on the back.

First without the bumpers on show how wide they are, from other angles you can hardly tell.










These flares are 1" in the front and around 2 1/2" in the rear.

Now the flares on the truck are stock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Now that is a super sweet look. You did a great job on your car.

You just can't argue with the factory type flares....

Slightly off topic,

does anyone know if there are FiberGlass fenders (front and rear) that is the original size out there?

I m trying to make a stock looking 914 that is ultra lightweight.

I like the look of Chris's flares but I'm going for more the 70 Camaro IMSA look... the wheelwell openings are contoured similar to a 914 but the angle has been blown out to fit the tires. A very hotrod kinda look. Hard to explain unless you've seen one.Attached Image

I'm not a fan of just flaring the rear. Flared rear without a least a little flare in the front looks unbalanced IMHO.

I'm flaring fronts and rears - the Camaro has the fronts flared too but the rears are HUGE and it does look unbalanced. My rears won't be nearly that big!

Tangerine Racing with 8's and 9's - I like them much better than GT-style and they're German metal. For a real widebody aero car I would most likely go full Sheridan kit.

Drew my flare idea up real quick that didn't really capture it, then realized I had a model and clay and missing tools (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

The Blue with checkered flag 914 above that was listed by Seanpaulmc use to belong to me back around 2009. I purchased the car on Ebay, the flares were from a 911SC. I loved the looks of it. I sold it to someone back East I believe, I tried tracking the car down without any luck. I couldn’t find the VIN to go through DMV. Anyhow someone did a great job with the metal work on the flares. I’ve found after checking around in my area with a few metal shops that it can get very expensive to add steel flares these days in just the labor alone! Ouch
