Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2019 7:35 am Post subject: My problem with fender flares on 924s |
|
|
I've been wanting to do fender flares on my 924 or some kind of wider body ever since i got the car and now i want to do it even more because i got some painting tools. My problem with fender flares like d prod cars is that the flares are too low compared to the body line where as cgt fenders match them way better
This is what i mean
Doing the fenders like i photoshopped it would be huge wheels and low car.
Theres also some flares that like @porscheneunvierundzwanzig on instagram
Problem with going cgt fenders for me is i need to get some cgt performance before i do them hehe. And im not a HUGE fan of 944 front fenders because they are kind of bulky
Also i think something like this would maybe look cool on 924
Just my thoughts |

Not all rally flares are the same. These are the original and the best imho

I think those might work pretty good even in a street build, if the was lowered and the wheels were out more |

Have to agree Carrera, that original 924T factory look is the duck's nuts!
Does anybody in Europe or elsewhere make repros of these? _________________ 80/81 932/8 ROW |

I must agree also that the factory rally flares look the best if you're not going to go all out CGT or GTS style. I suppose it also depends on how much tire you're going to need for how "powerful" you build the car or if you're just going for the visual effect. Or, if you are going to rally of course. _________________ '95 BMW 318i/5 ..."Pearl"

The yellow car if I am not mistaken is an AUS car? With some Commodore or something flares grafted on? Looks like something from Mad Max if it were matt black
The race car has flares from Mittelmotor and other .de vendors. Slightly narrower than the Monte arches
The Datsun has god awful flares on. Owner should have the car confiscated for crimes towards innocent 240/260Z

I like the styling of those. Otherwise I'm a fan of the original Prod D flares.
But you can fit 10" rims on the rear in the stock fenders.
The trick would be to make the car look a little more beefy while still sleek (not like the 944).... |

Really? Didn't think you could go that wide. Anyone on this board running wide tires under stock fenders? _________________ 1980 - 931 |

My sentiments exactly!
Anyhow, reading through the link a bit, it looks like he was using 195/60 on a 9” wheel width . That’s a bit too much stretch for my taste _________________ 1980 - 931 |
