I have never been a big fan of the nose on the 914 I purchased. I was always 50/50, sometimes I liked it, sometimes I tolerated it. It was on the car and it needed other work so I ignored it mostly. Now I am working on options to see what I can do.
It has a cooler under it, see the pics. Not the correct one though. Go back to some form of stock? I like the 916 front end, try to do something like that? Some hybrid approach? I don't really want to go down a $10K rabbit hole. I don't really want to cut into the front end and make it a full GT. I may be limiting my options as I think.    |

The rest of the body is in great shape. It was redone many years ago and is still great. Lots of other mods on the car. I like flares, but that is another money hole I don't want to jump into right now.
You have to run a trunk duct to use the GT bumper right? Don't have plans to sell but don't want to get too upside down on it. |
