This was the one I built in the early 80's . Do you like the black from a 911 at the rear wheels?
Looks sweet! I have a nice shiny black top to use also for when I want a different look. Doug C |

Doug, I like the car. How do you like the fit of the rear ducktail spoiler?
It's just sitting on the back desk for looks..I'm gonna shave it down so the sides don't stick out past the trunk edge and "blend mount" it eventually. Doug C |

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. I wanted to point out that my car looks a bit funny in the picture because there's no engine in it and it's sittin' kinda high. And that targa was spray painted (very poorly) on a very cold day "just for looks" will have it redone more professionally later. As for the overall paint sceam I think the black bumpers, particularly 916 black bumpers helps tone down the loud tangering paint..it say's "hey officer, here I am" either way though!

I like it, looks good. My car being orange, I like the black offests of the bumpers, sail panels/top rockers etc. Nice look that dates well with the 914. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

If you haven't installed the ducktail, I would think long and hard about that one.

Yeah Greg, I think that'll be the last thing I decide on. I want to get the engine in the car and have it sitting at it's final ride height before I make that decision, the DT may be over the top.

Talk with SirAndy about your ducktail idea, sounds like exactly how he installed his. I have to say, I don't like them, but his looks really nice!

I was never really a big fan of any tails on the back of a 914. Sort of takes away from the low, wide look. Also, Camaro's had tails too similar to the 914 DT. But just my opinion. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
