I've seen some very expensive 914s that didn't have gaps that nice. Great job!

Very nice. I would try to get the eye brow, where it meets the hood corner to come back a teeny tiny bit and call it done. But I am really splitting hairs (red ones) here.

pretty perfect for a 914! If the corner of the hood is down a bit as compared to the fender, you could unscrew the rubber bump stop a bit but I would NEVER complain about those gaps. What a GREAT color

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I do think the brow can move a bit to close the gap. Will post another picture tonight.

If the corner of the hood is down a bit as compared to the fender, you could unscrew the rubber bump stop a bit .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) .... Jett, that may be a tweak you can have them do if not level, & make sure that they match left to right too. I can't really tell if it's low from the top. The 914 headlights is one of the areas which they always mention in our Zone 8 Judges Schools & Concours Prep Schools, & in our Concours Prep documents as a "defect" to look for & fix, so the "Taildraggers" always have their sights set for us 914ers on that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) From the top it looks perfect! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

Technically......the back end of the headlight is low as is the hood....totally adjustable at this point....so keep going....from 92% to 98%.....it is fun to dial it in....

It looks great. Are they as proud of the passenger side?

Looks great, normally one would have to buy a $300,000 Singer 911 to have perfect body to panel gaps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
