I was just thinking about body kits, because that turn indicator system on the front really doesn't do it for me. Now, I'm sure we all know about Chalons and other kits with a 924/944-esque nose, but I was just thinking: Why not get a kit that puts a 911 front nose on the 914?
Maybe someone could Photoshop it up to see what it looks like... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

That 356/911 above reminds me of those nasty little singing monkeys that Qarl likes. The ones that did a Quizno's commercial. The combination of features just dosn't work together. Sort of like that photo of the dog with human eyes.
In my opinion, the Chalon body kit works pretty well. One minor gripe that I have had since the kit first appeared is the faux front bumper bellows. When Porsche had to come up with 5 mph bumpers for its cars in the 70's it added the bigger bumpers with bellows on the 911 and the rubber baby bumpers on the 914, neither exactly elegant. On the 911 the bellows was functional as it allows the bumper to move. Granted, with the Chalon kit, the designer wanted to add 911 elements to the 914, but why copy one of the styling weak spots, especially when it's nonfunctional, molded in rigid fiberglass? I always thought they should have omitted the bellows and carried on with the smooth lines of the rest of the design. Okay, off the soapbox. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
