Anyone ever seen one?

Steve - I love the artistic touch of the fruit plate! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
.... you're a true artiste! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Seriously - great job on the butcher block! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

So now the next true test will be the fitment on mounting to the car, top pads to the bumpers & how the gaps & alignment to fenders & other panels look compared to the OE Chromies. Fortunately you'll have the OE of each on one of your 914s for direct comparison. Can't wait to hear/see how that works.

I agree with underthetire, the polishing swirls should polish out with a fine chrome polish by hand &/or polishing/buffing wheel, which will be easier to do off the 914s before you mount them.

Are you going to be around & have them mounted by the Miramar Airshow weekend (1st weekend in Oct.)?

My son & I will be coming down for the airshow & I'd like to see how the look/fit in person, before pulling the trigger (with holes & added holes/brackets for the front tits in my case).
