Front Hood Cover and Front Porsche Dealer Accessory Air Intake Grille.
I'm just interested to know who made? How rare? etc. Any photos of others out there? And any more details about the 914 aftermarket hood cover. I bought my cover, NOS from a guy in California. It is really well made and fits perfectly. My hood paint ain't brilliant so not too worried about paint issues for the time being. It makes the car look a little different...and I can remove when I wish as it isn't black paint....I added a Porsche badge with removable 'black tac' Any info from you 914 buffs?

Wow. I thought it was paint. It's a good bra replacement.

I'll try to find the name but it was a private vendor. It was as new and still folded. There is one featured on the Bowlsby site. It is a damn good fit and quality.
The grille was from Auto Atlanta as NOS. I also bought a silver one, also in a sealed packet. |

The earliest I'd seen one was back in the '70's. |
