Loved my 914 bone stock, still love it now. I love 'em no matter what has or hasn't been done to them.
That being said, a bone stock creamsicle is one of my favorite 914s.

I used to envision installing flares on my narrow bodied light ivory 4. But the narrow body and classic color have grown on me. I'll keep it the way it is.

But on the other hand... I still like the look of flares; My 4 isn't even drivable yet, and I'm already thinking about #2 one day - Flat 6, non-metallic slate gray, flares, black bumpers, black Fuchs, black sail panels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

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.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

When I first bought my car I had big plans, flares, big six, big fuchs, custom interior... but the longer I had the car the more I appreciated it for what it is. I even undid most of the cosmetic changes I made in the first few years. That being said I am not a fan of body kits, but I can appreciate anything that is done well.

I don't care for most of the major body kits: 9014, Chalon, Eagle GT, "K-5"... Sheridan is the main exception to me, I really like that one!

I think the factory flares are too boxy. The race car wide fenders don't appeal that much to me either.

Body colored rocker panels and valences make the car look too "fat" to me as well.

I prefer a 914 that has a somewhat-stock-looking body.

...Though I might give up some body parts for Sir Andy's flared 916-bumpered car... Or Wyld 6...

not a fan of the bodykits, and not a fan of them for anycar anyways.

However, wide, skinny, original, modified, 4, 6, 8, all are good with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I do prefer chrome bumpers though, gives it the extra classic car feel

Wait, I forgot I am Prejudiced against the 916 front bumper. Every 914 I have bought that had one, I took it off and threw it away. However I think the 916 Rear Bumper is very cool.

What's your 914 prejudice?

Slant nose Chalon conversions ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

+2. What a crime it is to smooth over one of the main defining characteristics of a 914.... Oh how I love the front fenders, flared or not. NO MORE CHALON KITS!

I DON'T HATE YOU! Because you need your meds, you may say things inappropriate. Now, for your own help, I think you need to sleep with side markers under your mattress, and find a way to fit 914 steelies to a Suby.

It's for your own good. Trust me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Oh Baby, am I going to get hate mail here!

If it isn't "primarily" stock, and that can include some minor tweaks in the suspension area (sways, etc), it's bogus!

Got a four with a Raby motor - bogus!

Got a six with anything abov a 2.2 - bogus!

Added flairs - bogus!

Radio w/IPOD cap's - really bogus!

It's a classic, not a contemporary.

Let the flames begin........

I like 'em fairly stock.

NO to flares and front air dams (except the cars that these came on), tails/spoilers and V-8s (and V-6s for that matter), and body colored valences and rocker covers.

OK with Porsche 6 conversions and 5 lug conversions, and carbs added to FI cars.

I have extreme prejudice:

noun
1. an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.
2. unreasonable feelings, opinions, or attitudes, esp. of a hostile nature, regarding a racial, religious, or national group.
3. such attitudes considered collectively: The war against prejudice is never-ending.
4. damage or injury; detriment: a law that operated to the prejudice of the majority.

I have such extreme prejudice, I will no doubt keep mine for many many years to come.

Gotta agree with Pat on this one, if it didn't come with it from the factory then it shouldn't be on it now!
