Kevin,

Both Porsche still sells the original chrome foglight type bumper grills L & R, & IIRC 914Rubber has both foglight & plain repro grills in chrome or paintable black (all are plastic w/ plasti-chrome).

The radio surrounds vary by radio type, & basketweave (70-74 MY) or brickweave (75-76) - & some came as molded texture black plastic, while others were made up with a flat steel faceplate with the vinyl leatherette in the appropriate MY texture glued to the faceplate - as is done for the rest of the dash face basketweave.

You can buy a dash face viynl kit in either texture from many vendors for your radio, & make/cut a steel faceplate yourself or give the pattern to a local shop. Some have made the cutouts on a factory radio blanking plate, but those are hard to come by lately.

You'll need to give folks a specific radio for the molded or dealer/factory made vinyl-over-steel-faceplate already made up - & they'll be hard to find one - vs making one up.

If you're already planning to reface your dash vinyl, then the custom made one is the way to go, so it all matches with the same leatherette texture & shade of black across the whole dash.

PS - You might also try a PM to Bruce Stone/bdstone th see if he has any, since he's in Riverside & close to you in Upland.

Good Luck!
Tom

I have the fog light grill in stock and can ship right away. I'm backordered on bumper tops for about a week. And have the DIN and "clasic" radio face plates in steel with vinyl.

I don't that the classic listed up yet, Blake will have up in a few hours.

PS early or late vinyl will be applied for you.
