Like many other 914 owners, my car desperately needs a new dash. There's one on eBay that ships from Turkey and the auction even includes a pair of sun visors for under $500 with shipping. Before I commit to one of these, I'm hoping for some feedback from someone that's tried this one.

Mark is the safe bet but I have heard others speak fondly of the turkey product

Thanks guys, thank you Mark, I will certainly consider that. I'm going out of town for a few days and will try to make a decision next week.
Meanwhile, I can't help but wonder how many companies out there would tool up to produce a dash for such a small market? I think 914Rubber was first, then AA started offering a dash, now these guys on eBay. Are they all coming from the same place I wonder? |

I just bought an electronic ignition for my motorcycle from a seller in the Netherlands. The cost was $360 and I got hit with a $120 tariff. Just keep that in mind if you buy from out of the US and are price conscious. It's surprising a lot of people. UPS wouldn't deliver until I paid online, including their $15 transaction fee.

Good point, yes, I am concerned about tariffs and brokerage fees etc.

A quick search says 10-15% for Turkey with one of the exceptions being automobile parts charged at 25%. But that's just my read on it. I could be completely wrong.

I did have an older version but sold it to a shop in NJ that used it on a gold GT build. Didn’t look totally stock but still looked good. |
