Be honest...do you have a strong 914 prejudice within the 914 world?

I , for example, think 914s with flares and body colored sail panes look incredible...so much so that I'd never own a 914 without both modifications. Wheels, engines, colors...all the other variables have nowhere near that level of prejudice with me. What's your 914 prejudice?

Nope. I am well rounded 914 owner. And I don't just mean my belly.
Skinny, flared, body kits, whatever. As long as the job is well done, I think they are kinda cool. What can I say. I'm easy.

I love 'em all ... even the electric ones (even if they're all owned by dirty tree-hugging hippies). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


That said, I wish I owned a wide body with a 3.6L instead of my narrow 2.0

I gotta say i like them all, but i don't ever see myself owning a narrow bodied 914, i like the look of flares much much more. They give the car some much needed curves

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) on how cool they look with flares, But a OG 914 is also way cool.....Sorry I like all Porsche, some just the way they.

I also prefer 914's with either the original 4 or a Porsche 6 conversion. I understand the appeal to put other engines in, It's just not something I'd do.

I don't have the time or $$ to do much of anything with my 914, so be default I'm keeping a stock look.

But none of the other "looks" have won me over as something to aspire to.

I will say this: I think it's one of the most versatile automotive canvasses out there. There are so many tasteful mods (and a few not-so-tasteful) that it really makes for a cool variety. Meet-ups and rambles would be a little more bland if everybody's car had the same look.

(Admittedly, this coming from someone who is yet to attend a meet-up or ramble...)

I'm sticking to a very stock look. Might make modest performance mods, in addition to those already on the car, as time and $ permit.

Frankly, and I know I'm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) here, I think flares are over done.

As long as they are on jackstands, they are ok with me.

I even like them when they're broke in half!

Well...maybe just "parts" of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Like em all. Really like the flares but not the attention that would go along with them.

The direction of my 914 has changed over the years (in my mind)...at first I wanted a big 6, flared GT like car, now I'm all over the period looking sleeper of a skinny fendered big 4 with subtle upgrades.

So I totally understand any direction to take a 914, so I'm not prejudice

I am very partial to flares and 6's. But I have to say this narrow body looks sweet too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Love all the 914's out there. However i would love the look of GT flares and polished Fuchs on a black 914.
