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.    |

You can't really see it while you are driving and it sound like you've had the car for a while and it works. You are the only person who can decide what's it's worth to fix and how important are the looks when you walk into your garage.
You don't have to cut into the front end to add a GT style cooler. The holes are already there. I personally have trouble working towards an unknown budget. I wouldn't know what underwater or not is on a custom 914. |
