GT2 fender install question
Can some PLEASE send me some detailed pictures of the inner and outer fender extensions on a GT2. My body shop is having a few issues with fitting the fender extensions and knowing where to cut. On another note, I know Porsche didn’t put splash shields in the wheel wells but does anyone have any suggestions on this issue.

On my FVD kit, because of the size of and positioning of the flares (ie slightly narrower than factory) the existing wheel housings/liners had to be modified to fit by extending the outer edges and then putting a runner gasket around the outer edge.
The wheel housings are important, particularly at the front for directing the airflow away from the tyre at high speed.

I cannot help with how far to cut the wings back but all the GT2's (not sure about the race cars) had the inner splash guards or wheel arch protectors. TB993tt you are a cheeky bu**er. Evo's were apparently fitted with lighter weight plastic versions to make up for the electric windows

TB, Thanks a bunch! I was not aware they had inner liners. The body shop has the flairs taped onto the car and it just doesn’t look like it will look right when it`s done. Those part numbers help me out in a huge way. I`m having Simon at Jasmine price them out for me.

Like I said my bodyshop fabbed up the existing liners (since I didn't have the above GT2 "Technische Information" when I did mine) but I guess if you buy the real GT2 items then postion the flares so the liners fit exactly right then you will automatically get the correct postion for the flares ?

rear fender liners no longer available...was able to get the front ones.
To fit the rear fender flares mount the wheels you will run first. You can move flare plus/minus 1/2 inch to make a perfect match.
