Decided to rip off that ugly peeling vinyl this morning. I got some goof off to remove the adhesive and try and make it look pretty. Worked well in the first pic, except for taking off a little paint at the top, Then went to rip off the other side and Ewwww... Ugly rust. No amount of polish is going to make the pretty anytime sone.

Personally, I think there is a place for everything...not just with light or dark colours but, also with chrome trim....
Chrome (also called jewelry in some automotive circles) bumpers and detail on the 914 looks great with the black vinyl (and bumper top)contrast. This looks great for a street 914. Many hot rod or race 914s have bumpers (and accessories) body colour or black which seems to make the vinyl stick out of place... I think the choice of rocker colour (body/black) also makes a huge difference.... Okay call me a fence sitter..... |
