toying with an idea - looking for an unobtrusive flexy trim to surround the 914 windshield - found these
anyone tried this? Flexline Windshield Auto Glass Universal Molding (on ebay) and this FlexiTrim http://www.creativeextruded.com/flexitrim.php looking for a TEMPORARY way to make my black car's front view more blended with my new glass - more like modern muscle cars (maybe more sinister?) like this - comparison pics below (my car was originally done in all black trim in Germany - it was a "period" euro thing for 914-6s to distinguish them from 4's) (i un-did that back in the early '80s) it's not a $$ issue - i have 2 nice sets of oem bright alu trim, and have NO interest in painting 'em black ( i might decide i don't like the "dark look" - and of course - it's a originality-value proposition for a future buyer) current bright trim look: no-trim "dark look" new glass, no trim in place |

I always had good luck using etch primer and painting the stock trim some sort of satin or trim black.
I clicked on the 914Rubber link and the product doesn't appear to exist any longer. I did see in person someone used windshield trim from an 80's Camaro. It looked really nice and had enough of a lip to cover the butyl tape over the glass. |
