Where these Factory items? Dealer installed items? Both? Would there presence be confirmed by a COA/Kardex? Only by a dealer sales slip? Thanks!

Ok, you got me to post on my original dealer installed Luggage Rack. My research shows it was installed at the dealer when new. I can't find the mfg. name at the moment, but it was the premium model luggage rack from the dealer. I kept it on when I restored my car because there were about (20) mounting holes to fill & I also feel it breaks up the back-end flatness of the 914's rear. Someday I hope to make an old style reed picnic basket to carry bottles of "two buck charlie wine" when I meet up with Eric. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Hope Pat is looking, because my goal in life is for Mr.CW to install a Luggage rack & rear fog light on his original 914 so he can win a trophy @ PCA Parade. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Pat needs, bling, bling in your life to win. Tom BTW: We just dug out of our 10"-12" snow storm in MI & meeting this afternoon with Gary & Glenn to have our Christmas coffee with 914 puff lies, etc. Good friends and 914 buddy's for life.

Tom, Shouldn't those center rub strips have rubber/vinyl strips in them to cover the screws? No luggage rack in my future (20 holes?). No rear fog. No bling! Have you considered the front hood-mounted driving lights of the era? There was a set on Evilbay last month - coulda had them. How about some period incorrect nerf bars? More bling! You could also chrome the front, rear & side valences for a REALLY dramatic effect. Just some suggestions for the "bling" man. Pat

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I want you to know this is Detroit the bling capital of the world. I visited the auto show & noticed a trend to add car/truck vents that are applied with adhesive. They now have them on the high end SUV's, etc. You can look at this site for more info. www.modeauto.com for those Buick-Style portholes & Range Rover-like grills. This stuff is big in Detroit town. I wonder how they would look on a 914??? I want to correct my luggage rack hole count, I just did a count & it's (18) 1/8" dia. holes. There are no rubber rub strips on my rack, because the holes are countersunk below the surface. Anyway my no bling 914-buddy I am done with accessories on my 914. I am now looking at more Raby hp.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Tom Tom, Yeah, you talk the talk, but I can already see the Buick portholes in the forward edges of your quarter panels, to get more air to the Raby (rabid?) motor. You could also add some curb feelers with blinking LED's. Sorry, you KNOW I'm jerking your chain.....though I wouldn't put it past you. Pat
