Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,899 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
So, about six monthe ago I had an opportunity o purchase some brand new, unused, original front turn signal buckets. Nothing wrong with mine (see photos), but I can't seem to pass up factory new parts. They cost me a bundle, and I didn't need them. Some would call me stupid, and they just may be correct.
So, I'm debating. Plae the new factory pieces on the 914, or stay with theones I have (which look better to me). See the pics & tell me what you think. Pat Attached image(s)

Well the outer bucket on the one on the right looks to be pretty pristine, but maybe too much so on a preservation 40+/- year old 914.
The one on the left isn't bad either - considering age, and that there was some color variance on the outer finish. I agree that the silverized reflectors' condition is maybe more important to light performance, even if not visible from the outside. For comparison, these are the one's on Steve's Sahara Beige with only 23k - which looks similar to the one on the left (if you can see the bucket up past the rubber boot etc.) .....  What say you?
