ok..im a newbie here. I have a 911 but a friend of mine has been dabbling with 914s for years. Im tempted to buy a 914 for restoration one day. Unfortunately, i cant leave a car stock and I am looking for tasteful body mods. So far, this is the best looking mix of old, new and aftermarket I have found.

http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/914_photo_...johnson_914.htm

Does anyone have any other examples of body mods, links or pics?

Thanks,

Steve

The link you posted is just a GT flared all black car... ABC914 is a work of immortality.

the only really tasteful mods are nicely done flares, nice rims, and some subtle things... not big on body-kits... most don't turn out without a really pro install..

It's all metal, sectioned in.

The technique can be viewed at Tangerine

Notice the soft rear flares and the hardly noticable front flares. This is by far one of my favorites! The wing might be a little overboard for me but he says its functional and I believe it.

Do a search for HPH flares, or soft flares and you will see another option for shoving huge meats under these little cars......

here is another....

Each owner has their own favorites, my 2 cents:

GT Fender flares
Rear spoiler - several styles to choose from
Rear valence (lower)
Front bumper, dam - several styles to choose from

This thread really opened my eyes abit.

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...&hl=soft+flares

its amazing how much you can change the attitude of the 914 with subtle changes like flares, rockers and what not.

I would have never thought it possible to get 17" Fiskes under a 914 until now...

That black car is the car that I tried to model my subtle flares after (though I think my body guy was a little more subtle than I had intended). Here's 8" wide Fuchs with 225/45-15 tires squeezed under there.
