What other Porsches had the same letters as the aluminum engine lid letters on the 914?

Since my car didn't have the letters when I got it, I ordered a set of the silver kind. What I received were made out of gray plastic. They were chrome only on the face of the letters, on the sides they were gray. I don't mean that they are gray on the bottom, I mean they are gray on the "thickness" of the letters, if that makes sense. Is there any 914 that ever came with letters like that, or was I ripped off for $55 from AutoAtlanta?
To me it seemed very odd that a plastic part would have chrome on only one face, because, having built many plastic model kits that have chrome parts, normally it is easier in manufacturing to chrome the entire piece, rather than just a particular face. Was I screwed? |
