Here is the new baby, fellas!!!! I spent all I had but finally found a car with integrity and style. The pics do not do it justice. This car is the cat's meow. Be jealous, be very very jealous. I am replacing the front valance with an original black to match the rear and side skirts. Take care all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Sweet. Delphi Green? Or you could paint the other parts to match the front spoiler.

Looks very clean. If it were me, I'd keep the "LE" valence but paint it black to match the rockers. I'd also think about ditching the front bumper "tits"...

Congrats and welcome to the 914club!

Is that a metal LE front valance? Are they very common?

Then you'd have a bunch of parts that don't match the body color!!

I am going to bail the "tits" on the front. I can't stand those things. Thanks for the positive replies. I can't wait to meet all the 914 guys in San Diego. This is my second 914 but I am new to the site. Thanks for the warm welcome. My family is big in the scene including Gregg Stavros, Chris Stavros and Charlie Pendrell. Don Clark does all their cars.

No it's not metal but I'll probably just spray it.

Awesome.

L99A is my favorite.

I like that it looks very original cuz the differences are subtle and well done.

Keep the LE spoiler but paint it black.

Original color but it has been lightly coated. The color under the trunk is the original though and looks perfect. Check it out.

nice!

they shaved the front markers off the front fenders and added euro front and rear lenses to make it look kind of like a euro version car.
