After searching through a few hundred posts I have seen that people would much rather pay $1000 for a original 914-6 fender mounted tank than $200 for a aluminum trunk mounted cell. Seems like an easy savings.
The only issue I can think of besides aesthetics is the aftermarket tank could use some windage/baffling. I can understand if you are building a concourse car but not a auto-x or driver. I'd like to hear some feedback. |

Uhm, if I had a driver I'd want all the trunk space I could get, particularly since I'd plan on driving as much as I could with the top off. So in my dream world, it's the stock location for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
