Hello all, I had a 73' a couple of years ago and am now in the market to buy another 914. I would like to find a decent runner that I can work on as a project. I would also like to do (or have someone install) a slant nose conversion or some sort of body kit to make the car stand out. I found a car on ebay that I really wanted but it was 1700 miles away. The ebay item number is 2498076750. Does anyone know who makes this slant nose body kit or one like it? I also like the look of some of the aftermarket race style bumpers. Can anyone help me with information on who makes either. Any info would be very helpful and appreciated. I can't wait to get my car and get involved with the message board. Thanks, Amy

the slant nose stuff was more of a '80s kind of thing.

i haven't seen any new kits for sale ...

you could always get a set of normal FG fenders and "shave" them yourself ...

I found a slant nose kit on the bird board and modded it to keep the signal humps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

That looks like an old Rayco bodykit. Try these guys:
body kits
My experience and surveys show that fiberglass kits tend to crack where they are bonded and may trap moisture. Be extra carefull when inspecting for rust...
