Bumpers. Who needs them. The Great Jenny Craig 914 weight reduction program is hot to go. I do things slowly. I have a brain injury from military service so I spend a great deal of time thinking about it before I actually DO something to my 914.
So... I got a "heavy weight" with the obligatory one half tank of fuel. Why 1/2 a tank?? Why not full or empty?? Anyway it came out at 2100lbs on the mark. Factory dry weight is 2137.8lbs. The stock bumpers fore and aft are off. I have a very nice set of replacements in fiberglass, custom made for a 914 by a club member. This will be a nice weight drop.



great rubber but a bit of a bite on the corner. I wanted to trim it and fill in with a small piece of balsa to complete it.




The back bumper looks great. Both are wrapped up and in storage.
