Hey guys!

Look what I found in Oakland.

Blasphemy!
Looks good though, except for the zebra striped headrest.

I always pictured the Grasshopper with Zambezi Green accents.

Zambezi for reference....http://www.p914.com/p914_paint_L64K_73.htm

Could be your old car, Jeff? That one was a Grasshopper tribute...

Don't think so, but they could be brothers...always loved the color combo.

Man, I kind of like that better than the creamsicle. It sort of makes me want to find a white 914 for my next car. Any chance you'd be willing to share the paint code for that green?

Posted by: kkid Sep 5 2015, 11:41 PM

I will PM you the paint code and where I got the decals from.

Very nice...

Did you paint chrome bumpers or did you have unplated bumpers?

I like the PORSCHE decal how you didn't go into the wheel well like I did on mine.

Mine is a tad darker green I think...still unfinished, decals only so far.

Thanks!

I got the black painted bumpers from EASY and installed instead of the stock chromes.

I wanted the decals to go into the wheel wells according to the Jeff's site but the letters on decals came from the supplier were not centered on the sheet and short on one side. So this was my solution to make it look OK.

Just hen you think it's all been done...... Nice work!

Posted by: dug Sep 6 2015, 05:18 AM

Looks great. I think keeping the stickers off the lips looks good. The color match to the paint is spot on.
cheers!

Beautiful looking car.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Sep 6 2015, 07:44 AM

Beautiful car ! I'm curious how you got the green in the Porsche decal to match the green paint on the car....

Posted by: mepstein Sep 6 2015, 07:54 AM

Maybe matched the paint to the vinyl?

Posted by: rick 918-S Sep 6 2015, 08:08 AM

Cool!

Posted by: scrz914 Sep 6 2015, 09:19 AM

Looks fantastic Yuki. Any plans to bring it down to Rennsport?

Posted by: era vulgaris Sep 6 2015, 09:33 AM

Thanks, that'd be great!

Nice look. I was thinking of finding a white car and doing one myself (my wife nixed it as she says I have too many cars already). I have a set of factory decals in this color along with two sets in Saturn Yellow. I've had them in cold storage for over 20 years as I was going to use the yellow ones on my bumblebee until I found out it was the wrong yellow. I don't remember why I got the green ones. I'm not sure if the adhesive is still good.

I'll check the paint code when I get home. I think it was listed on the packaging.

Kkid, Nice job. I like the colors. Way to go!

Great job on your car kkid! What a beauty! I'm in Oakland too so I'll keep a lookout for you on the road.
