Why to people think they have to "improve" the 914 !

The nicest convertible.
Sloped the windscreen,added a well done scoop to blend with the latch,the only one I've seen done like that.
A spoiler,I think ruins the curve of the trunk and hip line,tho I do like the trimmed bumper.
Somehow,those wheels look ok on this car,when normally I don't care for them.
The choice of seats is a thing I would change,only because I would feel insecure without some degree of
rollover protection,a seat with a chromolly hoop inside,at minimum.
All around,a great looking vert,tho points off for the door gaps.



This color is called Thrills,like the gum.



Something a little different,a two tone!
Low contrast,a few shades lighter or darker on the bumpers and rockers.
This car is a highly modified 914,40mm lower.


A proper tarp,a hint of Boxster.



A nicely modded fender kit,with a sloped windscreen,smoothed here and there a couple of headrests and a wing.
I like it in spite of the sharp front corner and flat front facia,a feature never sold by any automaker,ever.
The mirrors work,setting off the blacked out trim,all very nice.The rear fender scoop is well done,subtle protrusion.
The color really sets it off,a photo op in an orange or lemon grove near sunset would be calendar gorgeous.



This looks so good because of the professionally designed siglites we know so well.



Mmmm,550.
A siglite rake to match the windscreen more closely would set it off,racier.



I'm still thinking of how I would change this,to make it better and I think a dropped hood line would work ok.
The details around the hood vents and a positive shape to the nose,more rounded at the leading edge and fender line.
The high contrast paint of course should be resprayed in a light metallic to show the curvatures and lines better.
An optional 911 roofline top would get the blood moving and heads turning.
