Ok, here is the deal. I have some badly damaged bumpers. 1971 bumpers are hard to come by. Upwards of 300+ for a chrome bumper.
I love the GT or 916 look and bumpers. So smooth and sleek looking but still vintage. So, I'm planning on getting the GT style glass fronts and rears but I don't want the flares. Has anyone seen or have pictures of a 914 with the GT or 916 look without flares? Should look great with the right rims and tire setup. Any thoughts? |

By the time you fit and finish GT bumpers to your car you will spend way more than the $300 for a new Chromie. GT bumpers need to be cut and reglassed to fit correctly. I have never seen one that fit right without adjustments. You could take yours to Temecula and have them re-chromed and straightened. |
