BTW someone here in the states has commissioned this mirror



Yeah that's a really nice option. At that price I'm probably going to the 993 Aero mirror but would like to see more pics on a car.

Does anyone have a Getty hood that can speak to the quality. Somewhere I thought I read that they don't do class A surfaces, just for race cars.

If you are looking for CF "BLING", you are going to want a nice UV protective clear coat. CF will turn yellowish with sun exposure.

I saw a Getty rear lid at parts heaven. It was not class A but it was used, scraped and $400. It needed too much work to look nice for me. But I would run a new one and not worry about gloss.

10 or so years ago, there was a group buy or front and rear lids with Getty. IIRC, the cost was about $1200 plus shipping for the pair.

Anyone have a pair? How are they holding up?

What did Joe use on the RS. Seems like that is one of the newest builds I know that used CF parts.

Hello everyone, happy 4th of July!

I’m Dov Chartarifsky, the owner of Composite Dimensions, the company that makes some of the products being discussed in this thread. I’m also the owner of the only (as far as I know) 914 in Israel - see photo. Let me know if I can answer any questions about these or any other items that you may be considering having them made from carbon fiber material. I'll be happy to discuss any project.

Have a great holiday weekend!
Dov

There used to be others. Maybe still around?

My sister lives in Jerusalem and she said she has seen a 914 in Israel. I had mine since I was a teen so she knows what they look like.

Yes, at one point there used to be a few more on the road back in the 80’s and early 90’s. Today no one in the local classic car scene that I talked to is aware of any other road-legal 914. The other fellow’s last post was from Aug 06. I sincerely hope he was able to restore his, but with no local parts sources and outrageous customs/import taxes on auto parts, not to mention the stringent safety restrictions imposed on older cars, it makes it almost impossible and cost prohibit to restore a 914 to road worthiness stage after a major collision. I know there are 1-2 non-drivable examples parked elsewhere in the country. Maybe your sister came across one of those or perhaps saw me driving mine (Israel is a very tiny country). Anyway, I wish there were more 914 owners in Israel, that way we could establish a local club. People still prefer to import 911’s, as well as 924/944 and 928’s. The 914 remains extremely rare here, most people still confuse it for a classic Italian or a kit car.

Cheers!

^^ Looks cool, but very easy to snap off the mounting base ^^


This was just an early prototype that we were testing. The final product comprises a much more robust design. You can see it at: http://www.compositedimensions.com/carbon-...le-side-mirrors

Hope you like it. Group buys are always welcome...

This is a glass lid with the balsa reinforcement or as it's called the GT Replica lid. The fit is perfect front and rear. Oh, it's Getty...

Here is a Getty Carbon lid painted. Very high quality. No complaints from me, good stuff. Purchased and painted 10 years ago.

How did I miss that car Marv that thing is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Now I wish I had picked up the hoods from the RS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I knew the deal would not have lasted as long as it took me to get some liquid funds.

Just connecting some dots here. If you are the only owner than you must have sink a Mustang in the Mediterranean few years back. If not, I know of another 914, very close to you.

I didn't sink it, the container failed off the ship along with 26 others due to severe wheather. Anyway, the insurance paid in full and was able to import another Mustang into the country.
