Think I remember some older Ferrari's (308gt4) and other cars called "boxer" when the lower half was painted flat black.. Anyway here's my idea for a 914 boxer, notice I've added tape (temperarily) at the back quarter panel, makes a level line with the top of the wheel arch and blends in with the 916 rear bumper. I figured if I liked it I'd make it perminent with Satin black on all pieces including the front 916 bumper. I kinda like it, what do you all think? My flame suit is on.

I have learned to make it the way you like and screw everyone elses opinions. It looks good, and if you like it, that is all that matters.

OK, I'll be the one to get things going here.

Don't do it. These cars should be kept stock at ALL times with NO personalization whatsoever. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I always liked the 916 front & rear shell we used. Perhaps when I flare my silver car, I will put them back into use.....

I like your car. It looks good whatever color scheme.

I like it. What makes it look good on the Ferrari though is the break across the side. You might want to test it across the door with some more black tape and black paper.

Doug, nice paint scheme. I've seen some 914s with the small Hella side marker lamp> right where you put the P logo. It took some getting used to , but it's kinda Euro Hotrod style ...me likes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Overall a good looking car...now put some big Hoosiers on those long studs !

FYI it was called 'boxer look' paint because the 365 BB (Berlineta Boxer, so called because of it's body and it's Flat 'boxer' 12 cyl motor) and later 512 BB and BBi had this paint job. That was their high-end model and you could get the 308 Dino with that paint to make it look more like the top-of-the-line.

This was the one I built in the early 80's . Do you like the black from a 911 at the rear wheels?
