I like em all as long as they are done right and look good. There are some really ugly body conversions and paint jobs out there. Aside from that the only thing that has really ever bothered me about 914's is when the ass end is lower than the front! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Soon as ya lower the front a little it looks like a different car. IMHO

Don't like the 916 front either. I'm ok with flairs if you enough power you need the wider tires. I do like the in-between look of a stocker with just enough changes to look a little more sporty.
AND I LOVE MY IPOD HOOKUP. We do have digital music now, you can step away from the tube a.m. radio fellas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (besides, i can't understand 1/2 the radio stations around here, and according to the other 1/2 i'm going to hell.) |

I like the look of SC flairs over the factory flairs.

The SC/930 flares to me just don't look right. But that is one of the nice things about a 914, you can modify it ( Sorry Pat) to suit your tastes. T.C. |

"You can modify it to suit your tastes". Amen. To that I add that the Portuguese have a wise saying; "Don't argue about taste".
I like almost all. Not so fond of Chalons or 916 fronts or fiberglass flares, but that's OK. I guess I'm most prejudiced against 914 owners who are intolerant of others. Seeing other cars you don't much care for makes you feel better about your own car, but you need to realize that that other car's owner is probably thinking the same thing about your car, which is making him feel better about HIS own car. We're a small group. There's a place for nearly everything except prejudice and intolerance. Oh, but then there's rust. I flat HATE rust. . |

I like mine as a concept. I like it as a what if car.
A what if Porsche kept the best production chassis layout instead of moving to the 924. A what if they were forward thinking enough to install a 350+ hp hybrid V8 into the best production chassis they ever built, instead of trying to build a four place car with a back seat so small you can't fit teenagers in there. What if our cars eventually morhp'd into a brutal beast of a car that could 1.5 G's and out run a Hemi Cuda or LS6 in the straights? What's not to like? Everyone has their likes and dislikes but tend to try to find something on everyones car they appeals to me. Attached image(s)

I changed my mind. It's more like a tramp stamp. When it's all over you might be curled up in a corner crying for your mama. |

If you look at a 914, and you can tell that it's well done, or done well with the cash available, I'm for it.
Having said that, I do roll my eyes when you see some of the cars that are ALL fiberglassed out. I'm not talking about FG flares, because those have their pros and cons, i'm talking about something that you can't tell is a 914, that started to look like a 911 and then the owner changed his mind and started to go in the Ferrari direction. |

4 or 6 Stock look w/5 lugs and Fuch's or metal worked with fenders slightly flared. Not the really big fat looking ones.
And of course, as much motor as money can buy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
