Dear Mikey at 914Rubber,
At this moment I am only speaking for myself, but there might very well be other 914World members who are in the same boat and agree with the following proposal: Many of us with split, tattered, or otherwise unbecoming Rear Targa Pads have been patiently waiting for the "correct finish" 914Rubber version to be available. In the interim you have made available the AA version. For those of us who truly want the "correct" version but are sort of in limbo as we wait for their availability, would you consider a program whereby if we buy an AA version from you, you would then offer a reasonable trade-in/purchase price when the correct version is ready for market? This would give members a chance to spruce up their cars in the near term knowing that part of their initial investment in an AA version will go toward a correct version eventually. Regardless of how you respond to this idea, I am extremely grateful for the products you make available and wish you continued success. Ansbacher Tampa Bay Florida '74 914 2.0L |

A used part is only worth 50% if it’s still in good condition. You’d be better off selling it at 75% of new to a third party looking for a deal.
I’ve seen the AA part. Held it in my hand. The grain isn’t right, but many if not most would forget the appearance difference in a day or two. Heck, our youngest is working for 914rubber a couple days a week. Making parts and stocking the shelves. He says it’s the best job he’s ever had. He loves to create. Mark’s targa bar pad will come. It’s really a production problem not a design problem at this point. When it’s done, I’ll test it for you guys to make sure it’s perfect! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) |
