Any suggestions for improving front bumper alignment greatly appreciated. The mounting bolts are fully seated with the appropriate washers/lock washers. Right side is better than the left side; neither are very good. My trusted local body shop declined to try as this is the first 914 they've seen...LOL

The bumper spacers need to be installed. Most folks don't even know they are there. You can shim with a stainless washer if you need any adjustment, but shouldn't really need that. You can make your own is you want, but this is what I'm talking about.

Mark, your website lists them as a "set of 10", but then defaults to a qty of 10... so assuming I need 10 of these, but when I try to add 10 to the cart it won't let me. Any idea when they'll be back in stock, or do I just go to ACE and find some rubber spacers that fit? |
