One more example of how box flares make everything awesomer:

I want the details on the GRM stencil.

I could box flair my 924s but then I would just end up with a 944.

Just came across this.

That's so wrong its right

That's a 900 Enduro, sold only in Australia in the mid-80s; very rare. Once imported, Saab Australia customized them: lowered, more power, water injection, etc.

You guys get all the cool special editions. A "special edition" here is a set of tape stripes, a numbered dash plaque, some fake carbon fiber stickums on the dash and $2500 added to the sticker price.

That SAAB looks awesome. Box flares FTW yet again.

Made these - more bubble than box though.

Looks like a slammed Geo Tracker from the front!

That Fiat almost makes me want to go buy a Festiva and a Harbor Freight sheet metal brake !

The stencil?

Beer and boredom.

order the die cut decal from the GRM store.

Put die cut decal on car.

Dust with black trim paint

let dry and peel off the decal with an Xacto

Drink more beer.

i will do a write up on the fenders this weekend , my digi camera is back home. It's basically 1 fender grafter to another. took about 2 hrs to do, Mig welder , Air shears and just a little filler.

You know what would be cool is to lay down a fo Kevlar background then put the sticker on. Then hit it with a paint ball splatter effect in multiple colors. Let dry and remove the sticker. I think I need to try this!!!

That is just awesome.

Oldtin, Would like the tutorial on that!!

I'll write it up this week. Used a couple of techniques - made a clay positive for the hood scoop and took a mold from that. For the fenders, carved up some florist foam for the shape and took a mold.

Way to go Claremont NH. I see that car all the time.

Perhaps your handle should be "newglass"!

Seriously though, that's a very handsome flare.

That 928 is SO sad. Beautiful car, motor is disassembled. Why? Argghh. LSx goodness?
