Just FYI, don't let anyone BS you on the value of these it is hard just to give them away, so don't pay more than what it costs to ship it to you.

Thanks Mike, wasn't really sure of what they were worth

Posted by: mepstein Jun 9 2017, 10:55 AM

I got rid of mine and then had to pay to have the holes welded shut

Posted by: Larmo63 Jun 9 2017, 11:03 AM

WHY would you want one?

Posted by: amfab Jun 9 2017, 11:05 AM

Bondoed mine, I feel cheap now

Tuff crowd these days.........

When I removed mine, I had to weld in a completely new piece of steel between the light fixtures to get the sheetmetal perfect and back to stock.

People behind you know the 914 for what it is.... Quirky, weird, odd, underpowered if a four, and fantastic handling in most configurations of power.

Nowadays, the 914 is even being considered a legitimate "Porsche"..

afterfactory option...

They are rare... I only have one of each style

To the OP, install with double face side molding tape, unless you are replacing one and already have the holes.

I believe there is one for sale right here if its still available.

No actual value? . My box time, drive to and from shipper time and gas $ sure have value. I've given PLENTY of stuff away but i don't expect to go into my wallet to do so.

If you're going to install a rear reflector, then I say you should "go for the gusto" and make sure to install the finest one you can....

Posted by: bdstone914 Jun 11 2017, 04:17 PM

Here is the new reflector and the solenoid.

I was referring to my comment above, not your offering Bruce.

Posted by: exultant1 Jun 12 2017, 01:16 PM

I'm kind of on the fence now after hearing all the comments, i may just get one if the price is right. Here is my 3.2 914

I haven't seen anyone say this on here yet, but as I have been told a few times on mods I wanted to do "It's your car, do what makes YOU happy about it, not what others say about it". I happen to have a center reflector, and like the way it looks, so it's staying. If you are going for 100% authentic rebuild (which I'm guessing is NOT the case looking at your car and the engine in it), then no, you wouldn't have one on it. But at the end of the day, you are the one driving this car, and seeing it every day. If you think it looks good, the hell with anyone else's view on it

My 914 3.2 had the reflector already mounted with the stock trunk button poking through and I'm keeping it that. I like how it fills the recess between the taillights and under the trunk lid.

Now for my totally stock LE bumblebee, I wouldn't even think of adding a reflector...or anything else.

I'm putiting mine back on upside down

Posted by: bdstone914 Jun 13 2017, 07:07 AM

It may look nice but I would not drill holes in the car to install it. And if the solenoid fails you have a fun job to get into the trunk. I would use a manual pull cable or at least use one as a back up.

Nice car.

Friggin' LOVE the MW wheels on the black GT......

Those look GREAT.

Now, invest the money you WERE going to spend on the reflector in some stock mirrors and you're done!
