The section over the wheel is not concave.
They become concave when the covering starts to shrink.

Here's a picture of a new fiberglass panel we made.
And one of a set I shipped to a customer yesterday.

Hi smyth1 or moderator,

Please fix the spelling of "quarter" in the title of this thread so it will show up in searches.

Rob, it is my impression that he is talking about the car body and not the interior trim.

In that regard, OP, there is a slight concavity above the wheel opening in that the wheel arches are slightly flared on all the cars before the GTS.

There are enough pictures on this forum of 928s to be able to compare with. Find and start reviewing the thread that says "post a picture or stay out."
