"New" 914 parts to be available shortly, I've been working on a few projects Options

Well, things are just about caught up on the front bumpers. I have been working on several other new items that I will be announcing officially next week. Because of the production cycle and the time it takes to get these to market there may be some overlap with items other folks are developing / announcing.

I tried to have most of the bugs worked out on the front bumpers before the production began , but the learning curve was steeper than I thought and it resulted in delays longer than I wanted.

So, in an effort to try to have product available in a shorter time period I invested in some tooling that will start becoming available next week, one because I knew there was a need, and I didn't want a repeat of the wait that was experienced with the front bumper. And yes one of the announcements will be the rear bumper, I should have that officially dialed in on the following week.

I know there has been some feedback that these products may devalue our cars. I'm hoping this is not the case, but do try to make my reproductions as close to OEM as possible, except where it makes sense to improve.

So, on July 16th I will be making some new stuff available for all of us. I think we all will need. I've gotten more aggressive in the development and have sunk allot more cash into what I hope will work out well for all of us.

I just wanted to let everyone know I haven't been idle.

I haven't been posting much lately on product, but will let everyone know when I can get my production schedule nailed down.

Well you already know about the rear bumpers. The 3 part main targa seal is the big one. I've got the top and just finished the corner blocks, I'm waiting on the left, right sides that go down the windscreen. These are molded pieces that are produced as a left and right piece. The dies are being worked on this week and I've been told that they will be ready for the first run this next week. It kills me to keep these quite as I'm excited to make these available.

The best part- $149 each At least for the initial run, they will retail for $169 later.
I will be starting an official post as soon as I have the pictures of one installed. I've been working toward these since I heard the dies were lost/ broken. They will have the aluminum clip, and the top and plugs look OEM, the sides should too (I just don't have one in hand yet to verify). They will have the short bend just off the block to contour to the sides as it goes down. They are fairly labor intensive, but I have started to assemble the top sections so when the sides are ready I can move them faster.

That's the big announcement for next week.

I do have a few others, but I'm going to wait until the tooling is complete before I go public.
