OK, my car is not quite stock already, Rennshift, Carbs, Momo wheel.
Today I bit the bullet and will be buying some newly chromed backdated bumpers (no "tits") and will be putting them on my 74 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I figure I can always drill holes to put the "tits" back on. Pics of car about to be backdated Attached image(s) |

A ) Since the bumpers are bolt on/bolt off fitment, it'll be easy to return to "stock" if the occassion warrants it.
B ) I'd think most people would agree that the early bumpers are aesthetically superior to later examples. Same thing with early E-Jags, early 911s, 2nd generation Camaros/Firebirds, BMW 2002s, etc. BTW, the bumpers are correct for a 914, just not correct for the MY. Call it an "upgrade" or a "back-date". |

That's pretty much how I see it... How's your car coming along BTW??? Ferg |
