Flares / Options and opinions needed

[farleyd]

Since i bought my 914, i am debating on this:
--- Should i flare it or not? ---

Already have a set of fiberglass GT fenders. I cannot afford to buy steel. Is any of you ever had trouble installing fiberglass fenders? Wont they crack? This is what i heard.

Plus, a local body shop is making custom fenders for typical Ford Escort out of a metal sheet. How hard would that be to make 914 steel flares if they can do that for an Escort? They could use my fiberglass set as a guide?

Thanks for debating.

I do not like the big bulge fenders...
I do like the look of this car ...

Didn't we cover this "To Flare Or Not To Flare" stuff (ad nausea) in a previous post?

Personally, flaring the 914 sucks unless you ABSOLUTELY gotta run wider-than-stock, 914GT/911S/930-wanna-be rims/tires.

Flip a coin, or do what you want; bottom line, you're the one who's going to live with the results.
