What mods would you never do today that you thought were cool back in the day ??
Easy one for me and yes I did a couple of these mods..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) # 4 tip Monza exhaust # Carpet dash cover # Porsche raised letter rocker panels As I got older I came to the conclusion that less is more....

Well I would still do the fabric removable dash cover to protect it from the sun, but without the adhesive velcro pads (have one on our 88 Westy).
However, my `76 & `80 DAPO trick to not repeat was to repaint it from first Gold to Copper (74 color), then to the 930 Anthracite Grey metallic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) In my defense, it already had been repainted by the dealer &/or OO/PO from L80E to Sahara Beige then the gold when I got it as 2nd owner at 36 months "old". It'll go back to original L80E in my resto. While I know that those pre-date your 1992 date in the OP - there is no expiration date on stupid DAPO moves by owners - as well still see on some 914s even today! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It kinda reminds me of that Audi CPO car ad on TV, where the "future owner" tells the 1st/current owner not to do DAPO stuff on "his future Audi"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) PS - I had the Escort detector in the 914, then the BMW & the 88 Vanagon - the latter of which was the real laugh! .... but I did have the habit of doing 95 downhill so it would only slow to 55-65 on the uphill side! I'll probably to the positive black Porsche side stripe on my resto, since it looks good & was a period correct dealer sold option from Porsche back then, as well as the AMCO Porsche crest shift knob, also a dealer & aftermarket period piece, as well as the SSI HEs..
