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.

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 |

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? |

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? I'm sure an insurance company lawyer could make a case for almost any modification. LED headlights, euro tail lights, lower than normal ride height, non stock steering wheel, etc, etc. but almost every style of vehicle has a hotrod following and I've never heard of people not getting covered due to their modifications. Think about what we do to our 914's, 3.6 conversions, Chevy conversions, electric motor conversions (adding hundreds of pounds to a car) mods to the suspension, brakes, bodywork, etc. If $46 is too much for a reproduction specialty part, there is always used. |
