I know that the "snowplow" rear valence is rare, but am wondering about those who have one.
Is it mounted? Mine cannot be mounted until the car comes off from jackstands because the jack will destroy it. Just wondering. Pat |

Engine heat was defintely higher with the snowplow. When I switched ('76) to th shorter version the change was noticeable. Vapor lock went away.
Have a friend who had a six & had the snowplow louvred. Helped with heat dissipation, looked really cool, but (because it was a winter driver), accelerated the rust process of the valence. My 914 will get driven infrequently, so the "plow" will go on - cost too much not to enjoy. |
