Default New Product: GTS Fender Flares

Hand-laid fibreglass rear fender flares in the GTS model for your 928...

Adds 2.5" of additional space for wider tire/wheel combos (when measured from the stock tire/wheel outward).

Tapered construction - the mounting edge is thinner so the part will blend in to the body panels with a minimum of filler, yet strengthened in the center and the lip to add strength and ridgidity. Weighs only 5 pounds per pair.

More info here:

x2.......some type of front fender that would allow at least 315's on the front would be perfect, but that still flows with the lines of the 928.....

Looks like the filler door was messaged. Hard to tell from just a picture.

Kibort, I like the look of my racer, thank you very much.
But those flares are way to big for most.

We wanted a more subtle flare for the many requests we get for exactly that.

The body/shop/installer will add a little material to the filler flap, or trim the flare (your choice) so it stops farther away from the filler flap.

Carl this looks VERY interesting but please SHOW a raw photograph of what you're doing/did with the passenger flair and the gas tank area when you did your examples. I'm not quite sure I understood your explanation about "adding a little to the flap" Thanks!
