rear flaps...wow

I have a 914, too, and part of maintenance on that car is removing the rocker panels every few months and dumping out the piles of debris thrown up from the wheels. Didn't know I'd picked up a similar task when I got my Boxster. A wet mixture of the kind of debris shown in the picture in this thread is how rust gets started.

Exactly... now imagine if part of what got stuck up in there was salt too... festering away for even a week at a time is not good for the vehicle.

Don't forget up front in the air intakes for the radiators. Rocks, leaves and various road debris gets in there and can partially block radiators.

+1 on cleaning the front radiators. I used a shop vac with the long plastic extension and it worked great. Filled the shop vac about 6" deep with leaves from the previous owner...

Not a lot of weight but good for cooling, etc.
