Hi all,
So I'm a noob here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and have a paint color question. I owned a boxster a few years back but this is my first 914. It's a black '74, all orginal as far as I can tell. Factory 2.0 with FI. Bought it a couple weeks ago, replaced all the hoses and rebuilt the distriator and have been driving it for the last week or two. My goal is to fix it up myself and drive it. I want to keep it as orginal as I can. It has survived this long in tack and all orginal and feel it should stay that way to perverve history. Granted it def shows its age and needs work, but it's in decent shape. BUT... I hate black! lol So I thought I get your input on it's color. Should I keep it factory black? Should I stay with a factory color like the bright Orange? Should i go with bright red with a white top? Should I go with a blue? |

They look good in black....and if that is the original color, black it would stay. Now if your car was gold like mine was originally.....different story (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
