I felt I needed to toss out an other comment on this topic. There is no reason Malevolentfrog can't produce a set of correct flares just as easy as he can produce a generic set. Generic does not translate in to cheaper here. The work is in the tooling. And with a CNC at your disposal there just not an issue. The issue is do it once (or as few times as possible) and cut interpited factory correct flares to shape. Even the factory flares veried from car to car due to installation methods, techic and the installers ability. I installed glas flares on my car. they were a joke. Warped, full of voids, and the right side and left sides veried tremendously from the size of the opening, to the width per flare. I spent an extra week correcting the fit and building up the glas so the car looks correct side to side. I guess what I'm getting at is there is no "914 GT correct", steel flares. I think if Malevolentfrog gets good patterns off a set of installed flares, he will product a very acceptable part. the installer would be Able to install, modify, and reshape as his/her needs dictate. The trick is to do low production stretch dies as mentioned and keep the cost low.
