GTS Flares wanted ASAP!!!
#46
If you put OE GTS quarters on then you have to use the rear bumper cover as well since the lower edge of the quarters is really the rear cover. Installing the S4 rear cover on an OB is where the metal skills are REALLY needed. Trust me, I've done it! Not that it can't be done tho.

It just looks like it would be a lot more work on a OB.

How about GTS replica fiberglass flares? This company has replica flares taken from the original panels, as well as the matching fiberglass fuel door:

Ricer, I understand your trying to help out with all the options. But please, don't judge my knowledge or abilities by the number of times I decide to speak up on a forum. It just means I don't have as much time in front of a computer as some others do. I have been building $100k street rods for almost 15 years now.
This just happens to be my first 928.

I can't tell you the number of times someone has posted looking for a solution only to have a better solution offered by another point of view. If we only answered strictly on the information given, or lack there of, not much helping would be going on, and several folks would be denied better, or at least alternate options.
Note to self: Never, ever offer an option "C" on an "A" or "B" question to anyone on rennlist, I must assume everyone is an expert and has explored every option ahead of time. Stop trying to be helpful it only pisses folks off.

My 82 track has Factory GTS flares grafted on to the body. According to the PO...(not original owner) it took mucho time and money to make it fit...and after I rolled the lips to fit my track tires, I found much more than a skim coat of bondo in there. Believe it or not, the GTS flares are hard to see on the old body style. So much of the width has to be taken out at the back to make it fit to the rear cover. Either way..good luck with it and post up pics.
S4Ordie...I am interested in how your sunroof delete turns out as I may do that when it comes time to "refresh" my GT....

I really do appreciate all the help from everyone, thanks.
Let me explain why I want the full metal fender. Shortly after the car was purchased by it's original owner, he had a Porsche dealership graft the roof from a sunroof car onto this non-sunroof car (I currently have every last receipt related to the vehicle in a binder documenting every last bit of work done in it's 40k miles.) The job came out ok... But I am not a fan of body filer. And the c pillar could have been welded and worked a little better, actually the guys I know can weld so amazing, all it takes is some massaging of the finished product with maybe a 32nd of inch of filer on top, (that's acceptable.)
So that is one of the main reasons I choose to use a metal panel. I hope you all understand, I'm a bit of a perfectionist...
