Wondering what people think about getting rid of the side markers when re(sort-of)storing a 914?
Yes, to make it cleaner? Yes, to get rid of holes for water and rust reasons? No, because it is not original to the car? No, because it is less safe? Any other ideas? Better looking side markers? Flat ones like a 924? Small ones like a 90's VW/Audi? Thoughts??? |

I don't like the look of them, but I plan to use mine as a DD and am conscious of driving a small car among mostly SUVs and PUs. I am not going to do anything to make my car LESS visible. My car will be mostly converted to LED lighting, so I am thinking of some low profile LED option.

I wonder how hard it would be to get a 924 light mounted in the same spot? |
