Rather than answer your question. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I did the exact same thing to two 914s I owned in the '70s and want to point out the obvious. You now have lower ground clearance. The reason I mention this is that I totally messed up one of my air dams while driving on uneven pavement where there was a slightly high crest in the middle of the lane. If I recall, it cracked the air dam and I had to replace it -- and avoid driving in that area. The car looks beautiful and I love those Fuchs on that color car. |

I like the fiberglass alone, but it's a little cleaner.
Sorry no safety bumpers Attached image(s)

I had that same choice 3 years ago. Car was being repainted and I had an LE spoiler ready to put on. After a lot of deliberation I decided I liked the sleek look of the stock valance with body colored bumpers. I've been very pleased with that decision. I think it makes the car look a little longer.

I like it better before....but the spoiler looks cool. Just keep both and alternate! :-)

QUOTE(jsayre914 @ Feb 6 2013, 10:50 AM)  I had the idea somehow that the front air dam provided more stability at speed. In my mind the question isn't how it looks but how it drives, and from what I have heard the front is quite an effective place to start controlling lift. Hope you are pleased. |
