Hello.....I need a side marker base and I go to 914 Rubber and their only offering is a $46 Auto Atlanta part. I thought 914 Rubber competes with AA so the prices can be more competitive? Did I miss their product offering? Are there any alternatives to the AA part? Just asking.....
Thank you,
gg

Both are loyal 914 people and yes $46 just think of the cost to make a batch (100) and it takes 5 years to sell them. I’m glad there are good people out there making the parts. Imagine Porsche making it for $149. These are not Fords or even VW parts.

Exactly! Love really positive thought out threads like this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Why don't you just shave the side markers & be done with it

Has the law changed so that the front side markers are no longer legally required?
If a legal requirement, but removed, will insurance cover an accident where visibility is called into question? Just what are the legal ramifications if you are caught doing so?
