914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Removed bumper tits, added illuminated plate
Posted by: oakdalecurtis Jun 23 2017, 10:12 PM
I took some 1/4" plastic, shaped and beveled it and routed it out for LED lights. After bolting it on using the tit's holes, I covered it with a thin engraved Porsche plate made by the local trophy shop. I hooked up the LED lights to the parking light wires and here's how it all came out. Whatda think?

Too blingy for my taste, but it's cool you are always tinkering on her.

Thanks Rand. You don't always agree with my stuff but I respect differing opinions.

You should have done it in reverse script so people in front of you could read it in their mirrors.

This with the side scripts and rear reflector, plus a Porsche windshield banner, maybe less people would ask if it's a Fiat? Could add a flag too. And maybe some neon under the sides that projects the word "Porsche" onto the pavement?

The look is screaming "R I C E R" in my never to be humble opinion.

You're giving me ideas! This way you can tell what it is from any direction!

Lights in the front like may not be legal in California in addition to not having a front plate.

You need Porsche side stripes like these lighted side graphics.

Looks good. Nice workmanship.

that is interesting... well done and it almost looks like the old euro Police 911's with light-up plate telling you to pull over

Good point! No plate + that light = cop pulling you over. YMMV

The last cop that pulled me over came up to the side of my teener, peered in and said "Just looking for kids sir, have a good evening". I'll let you know how it goes.....

That's a little scary. Was it the mustache?
