Was talking to Jim over at EASY about how good visors are one of the most sought-after gems in wrecked 914s. Mine are nice, but now that I'm driving the car regularly and letting it sit in the sun they're starting to get a little spongy...
Would a cheap (and VERY trick) alternative be a pair of tinted (dark smoke) clear plastic visors -- like factory racers used in 356 GTs back in the 1950s? I'm sure there would be takers at, say, $100? Anyone can "steal" this idea, just be sure to hook me up on the first pair... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) pete |

I thought there was a thread here last year about a company that could make reproduction visors for any type of car, including the 914. Price was about $68/pair if I'm not mistaken. You send them a set of visor frames and they build new visors around them.
I'll need to check my lap top at home and see if Ican find the e-mail I received from them with the price quote. I think I also bookmarked their web site. |
