914World.com _ 914World Garage _ I have an idea for a paint scheme
Posted by: ripper911 Jun 13 2011, 06:25 PM
On my front trunk lid there is a fairly large bubble coming up and I need to take care of it as soon as I can. So I'm thinking about this, I wonder if anyone has a picture of a 914 like this for reference.
The car is bahia red, I think I will paint both trunk lids black. I think it will look good while matching the black top (when it's on). I took a sharpie to a signal orange matchbox and I like how it looks.
Have you done this or have pictures of a car like this?
If I remember my MiniSD adapter I can put a pic of the matchbox mock-up on here tomorrow. (not making any promises...)

I was thinking this paint scheme would look sweet on a 914.

I actually thought of doing that to my 914 several years ago when my kids were attending a school where the mascot was a tiger. Unfortunately, never got that 914 running

Are you talking about the creamsicle in your profile pic? That would be hilarious to see an LE tiger striped just to watch all the grown men crying around it at events. Not that I've ever been to one...

There is a red car and a yellow car with the paint scheme you describe in the French club meet up video,, they looked pretty good.

It tried to keep up with the 914s

Looks like they are driving through a marijuana crop.
You have to do the headlight doors. It may look cool if you did the cowl, windshield frame and the engine lid.

Wish I had prettier trees... 
I like how it looks without the headlights painted though, the shape of the trunk adds something to it.

Found this bahia red 914 in the classifieds so thought I would add the black trunk lids for you.

Thank you Poorsche!
That is what I'm expecting, except for the vinyl on the sail panels.
