914's are kewl  Group: Members Posts: 1,776 Joined: 6-June 03 From: San Ramon, CA Member No.: 791 Region Association: Northern California  |
Forever working on my rebuild specs....and waiting for it to cool down a little in AZ.
I have noticed in several various photos of 914's that I see on occasion that people have removed or do not have any of that vinyl on the sides of the targa "roll bar". I assume that this has been removed for a couple of reasons: 1. Personal preference 2. The fight against rust (my rebuild project has some under there) 3. It didn't come with it originally (???) Anyways, if you were rebuilding a 914, would you put it back on or just leave the body color paint there? I plan on having the vinyl piece across the top however. Thanks, boxsterfan |

I think people take the vinyl off to fix rust and don't put it back on because the cost of the rust fix and paint is cheaper than rust fix, paint, new chrome if needed and vinyl.
Another variation is paint, no vinyl, but keep the chrome. That's how my AX car has it. IMO - the vinyl looks good. I've seen early cars w/o the sail panel trim, but I'm not totally sure if that was stock or just "fixed". |
