914World.com _ 914World Garage _ An idea for promoting 914world.com
Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Jul 17 2008, 02:26 PM
Anyone interested in designing or getting something like these made as a way to promote this website and generate $$ to help defray operating expenses for this forum? Surely someone here can do better than these graphics...

great idea!
do we know anyone who's currently in prison? oh wait, that's license plates, not frames ....

I'd like to see a bumper-sticker sized window decal. Plate frames are a good idea though.

I'd buy some 914world stickers done in reflective vinal.

What about this?
Either vinyl, sticker, or even to go across the top of entire windshield.

to go across the top of entire windshield.
I'm looking for something to help keep the sun out of my eyes once I have my car back on the road!

If you were able to do that without the background. I know it would be a lot of cutting but would be cool to have in vinyl
Posted by: seanery Jul 17 2008, 03:15 PM
If I were at home I'd gladly whip up some vinyl...won't be there (except for a couple days) until mid-november

Look on my rocker panels toward the rear... McMark made these up for me. Hard to see but they are the 914World logo in white.

You know, I was trying to come up with an idea that was better than stickers, better than windshield banners, better than coffee mugs…something different than every other car club…those others seem all too common. What better than a high quality license plate frame. Love the website logo idea…Thes could be done cheapely in plastic, or much better quality in machined metal…hey maybe we could interest Mark Engman in fabbing these? We could support our own…

Yeah. Frames could be good but I personaly will never have one on my car. I hate them. I do however like stickers done well. Shirts done well are very good too. Many of the "other" clubs have tried it all.
Maybe we can all brainstorm and get a "Goodies store" built up with an assortment of great things for everyone.
Posted by: ConeDodger Jul 17 2008, 04:36 PM
That is really a great idea... Something in metal is much better than cheesy plastic.
How about:
Early Boxster (across the top)
914World.Com (across the bottom)

It ain't an early boxster (or any other kinda Boxster). Its a 914!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently you need to take a really good look at a Boxster... Front trunk - check, rear trunk - check, engine in the middle - check, two seats - check, optional ability to see the sky - check, outstanding handling with mediocre power in stock form - check... Boxsters believe it or not even use some 914 parts right down to the part number. Check out the wheel bearings... Same part numbers.

Fiero, Fiat X19. front trunk-check, rear trunk(kinda)-check, two seats-check, engine in middle-check,
Still ain't a 914 
Posted by: vsg914 Jul 17 2008, 05:02 PM
Oh yeah, 914 shares a lot of part numbers with the 911's. That don't make them a 4 cylinder 911!

First of all, sorry about the hijack Jeff...
You forgot the Corvair, the MR2 and several others. Your point is that a Boxster is not a 914. Ok, but it is a direct decendent of the 914 and a direction Porsche wanted to go for a number of years. They feared alienating the rear engine people with the midengine direction I suspect. The president of the PCA Sacramento Valley Region has license plates that say "73 BXDER" or something like that and he is an original owner of his 73 2.0. I have Boxster license plate frames. I believe along with many, many others that the Boxster is a fine car and a direct decendent of the 914... Is there a problem with the Boxster that you don't want it associated with your 914?

A 4 cylinder 911 is a 912. If we follow your logic path that would make them not anywhere close to the same car either...

I like the logo on the Honda Element.
Posted by: Eric_Shea Jul 17 2008, 09:08 PM
Jeff. I like it.
Here's what I think:
Top Line = Porsche 914
Bottom Line = 914World Logo

, something catchy... small glass decal 
Posted by: SGB Jul 17 2008, 10:02 PM
How about something useful but not on the car-
like a 914world bottle opener.
or clock
or pen set
Posted by: familienauto Jul 17 2008, 10:06 PM
These are good.........
That's exactly what I'd like to see offered. Did you have that made up yourself or have I missed something?

About a year ago, there was a limited (I think) run of these made for the faithful to purchase.
The example you see here was an outside, vinyl application that has endured the elements(so to speak) extremely well.
I think the 914.World logo is tasteful, discreet and has a "classic" look to it. I hope its use is restrained and kept in good taste.

I made 50 stickers awhile ago. It's probably time for another run.... 
BUT, let's focus on the license plate frames, which is a GREAT idea.
Posted by: JimSar Jul 18 2008, 03:03 AM
You can have them all: mugs, t-shirts, stickers, hats, magnets, etc. through http://www.cafepress.com/ (no affiliation).
Anything over their base price goes to the club.

Dang Mark.
I guess that means that you don't have any of the stickers left.
I have one on my Suby DD, and the other on my tool box. I was hopeful that you would have more of them. make another run, I'll buy more.

I really don't want any more decals or that kind of crap on my car. However, I would gladly replace my blank license plate holder with the 914world item as described by Jeff.
To me this is a great idea as it replaces a pretty nondescript piece (license plate holder).
GREAT IDEA JEFF - I'm IN

What Eric and Jeff said. I don't want to put stickers on my car but would gladly put on a license plate surround. Great idea!!!
Posted by: sendjonathanmail Jul 21 2008, 08:58 PM
Im in for the license plate frame or the sticker, or both!
