In the current Excellence Marty Schnieder (if I remember his name correctly) dropped in a flat-fan, intercooled twin turbo 3.2 in his 914-6. In the photograph of the rear of the car, Schnieder appears to have installed a pretty cool rear reflector. This one has the "PORSCHE" letters somewhat ghosty like those holograms you get in Cracker Jack boxes. Looks pretty cool I think. Also, it's hard to tell because of the angle that the photo was taken, but it looks like the reflector fits a little better (a little fuller at the top and bottom) than the typical rear reflector with the solid black "PORSCHE" letters.
So the question is: Where does this reflector come from and how do I get one? On a related note, I've been looking off and on, for a nice reflector for a while and I can never find one at a reasonable price. Any advice? Douglas |

Any advice? i probably have one for sale pretty soon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) brad's kicking my butt to NOT put it back on, now that my car is all new and shiny. my reflector is the real thing, not some aftermarket crap. a original 911 reflector that is cut to fit the 914 ... could use some cleaning tho (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) here's a (old) pic: (IMG:http://www.sirandy.com/pix/914/914_010.jpg) |

One of these reflectors was included with my 914 when I bought it a few years ago. The first thing that I did after I bought my car was to pull those negative P-O-R-S-C-H-E stripes off the sides of my car and the second thing I did was to sell the reflector.

Porsche changed the rear reflector of the 911 in '87 from black lettering to the tranparent lettering you are refering to
Actually, I think reflectors with black lettering are NLA cheers, Jeroen |
