Does anyone have a good source for an amber (some say honey colored or clear) fan shroud for my 914/6. I've heard there's a big range of fit and quality out there. Anyone have first hand experience to share?
Thanks! Jack |

You will suffer a great loss of face with the pinky lifter crowd if your shroud color is not correct for your six cylinder engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
Red is the color of choice as it was supposedly fitted to the "S" engines. Using the red shroud allows you to buy more gold chains and have a manicure without being called a "Girly Boy". |
