have on one the car and really don't care for it. Is this a dealer option or some aftermarket kit?
I have a button under the dash to open the rear trunk (because as you know - the push botton was removed from the back of the car). Seems like someone went a lot of trouble to add a cutdown reflector. Is this a common modification? I personally don't care for it, but if it is sought after or considered valuable, I will keep it (reluctantly). TIA Attached image(s)

You have a very nice one. In my opinion, it is a classy color combination with the color of your car, and it also ties the taillights together very well. As far as I know, you have the only silver 914 in the Northwest with a rear reflector; take it off and you'll look like all the others. If you take it off, there are several holes in the body (that hold the reflector on) that will have to be welded and smoothed and painted. And you'll need a new trunk latch.
I think you should keep it, but make sure you have a back-up system for opening the trunk. My back-up system is a small hole in the center of the reflector. Let me know if you'd like to look at it, to see the location. Rog (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) |

Let me know if you'd like to look at it, to see the location. Rog (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) Personal preference...your car looks great with it. A back-up plan is a must, it's a nightmare to open your trunk if the solenoid fails to release. My backup is a small hole drilled directly below the solenoid through the trunk. It has a small rubber plug that can be pushed out of the way from below the car and a stiff wire can then be pushed through the hole to release the solenoid. When I was putting my car back together after it was painted, I didn't have the wires connected back to the solenoid and not thinking shut my trunk....OH Sh...t! Thank goodness, I had my backup plan already in place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
