Now that I have got the lenses taken care of for the most part Thinking about the next 914 item I will tackle. I look for items made of plastic or rubber the smaller the better I cannot handle large items like the bumper rubber (at the moment). And way too expensive. So when I start making them and sell them for 1/2 the price I get some interest and can recoup my costs fairly quickly. I was thinking of the plastic crome front foglight grills or the plastic speaker grills,,,What do ya think any other nla items in big demand?

QUOTE(James Adams @ Jun 24 2003, 08:08 AM) I like the speaker grill idea. My suggestion is to make the outside look like stock and to modify the inside with some sort of universal mounting pads for the speakers. That would be perfect. I bought some new Kenwood 5x7's thinking that they would just "bolt right in" to the speaker grill. Though we all know that it just does not happen that way with the 914. It seems that the problem is that a 5x7 of today's measurements is a lot bigger than the 5x7's that came in the car(on the outside of the speaker). Well my solution was to use two stock mounting holes to secure the speaker to the grill. But for the speaker to fit in that location I had to cut a section out of the top of the box so that some of the speaker housing would stick out. Not the cleanest mod(though you would never see it), but one that has worked well! IMHO speakers mounted in the door plain suck, while the location of the speaker boxes is Perfect! |
