$48 for 2 non OEM ones

Unless you HAVE TO HAVE original, buy 914 rubber's version. They are new, take a larger speaker, they are cut to fit any speaker, they fit the car perfectly and you can use the speaker's grill and not worry about kicking the tines out of the OEM version. Plus they are on sale 2 for $48.

I have never had a lick of "major" trouble with AA or it's owner. I even get a 10% discount, if I remind him. Hell, the guy even answers the phone sometimes.

I am sure there has been some bad blood spilled with some who have been involved much longer than me.... I mean this forum started cause of one, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Thank you for that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I do like to read all the slaps and digs tho.


Malcom,

AA had nothing to do with the Split. He bought the club site a year or two later. that site was already dead though. and you can't revive a dead horse.

What part of this is restorable? Actually what part of it is even usable?

Hey! That's just patina. I'm sure the steering shaft is usable if he includes it.

Read his negative feedback. It would be worth buying some of his crap to keep driving his rating lower leaving negative feedback.

Took me about 23 years or so to make another purchase from George. Made some purchases in 1990/1991 (pre-internet!) and got a bad taste. Gave him another shot in 2013 or so and it was still a mess.

Some of the stuff he wants to create (speaker grills and upper dash pads) are great ideas, but you better have some engineering experience or hire somebody who does if you want to get it past prototype stage. While it sounds like a great business plan to have some third world manufacturer pump these out for $.05 each and you sell 'em for $80.00 a pop, it doesn't usually work that way.

I was all about getting this dash pad he was having made a few years ago. Until I actually saw the pics he posted on his site (a full two or so years later than his anticipated "they'll be ready on xxxxx" date). I can tell you from those pictures that he is light years from having a product that matches the factory quality. And that's saying a lot, because while Porsche is known for quality, I think we could all agree that most of the components on our cars wouldn't be considered high end in today's automotive world. Take that in for a minute....with all of the technology available today, AA is still a long way from matching the quality of a 40 year old plastic part.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, I'm mystified how AA could have fumbled the opportunity to own the entire market for aftermarket 914 products. It was there for the taking back in the late 80's. Yes there was Automotion, Performance Products, Tweeks and others, but they weren't 914 centric.

I just use Pelican and Mikey nowadays.
