I always thought that these were for cooling by helping create negitive air pressure, is this like the infamous heated seat cushion or am I wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

He is a member here.... and doesnt know that they are for cooling. They had nothing to do with "protecting" anything.

Thanks for the info, I did a search just now and found that out as well, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) sometimes I should seach first before I ask. I thought I had learned something new, I remember the old saabs had flaps under the rockers far back, and they were to protect and act as a mudflap so I second guessed myself.

Go easy on him. He sells a lot of 914 used parts and cars. Overall a good guy.. just doesnt know all the parts (yet).

Ferg..
The BBS is 90% tongue and cheek. The whole idea behind the BBS if for people to learn. You bring it up and the Ebay poster (if he/she is on the board) will quickly figure out the "misinformation" he/she is spewing on Ebay. They learn and everyone who reads this post will learn. Its not a bad thing. So.. dont feel bad. You pointed out a "issue". I do it all the time. B |

They look good to me (and I was thinking of bidding on them) but he says he won't ship outside the US. But will ship to Hawaii, Alaska, and West Coast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Or get one of the helpful souls around here to measure up a pair of flaps for you. Then you can make 'em out of cut-down mud guards. No problem, and cheaper then the duty across the border...

You could make them out of some 3" vinly cove base. Vinyl cove base like they use in office buildings. I think this was a recent topic & I posted this photo:
