rmital - My car is still in the rebuild phase, but I'll post a picture of them installed on the tail light buckets off the car to show how they fit.

I'll get a picture tomorrow after I get off work at 5, should be able to post a picture later in the night.

Someone with a more complete car will have to provide a picture of the fit actually installed on the car.

As promised. I think the fit is absolutely great. I have some banged up tail light buckets and these repros fit very well. Please ignore my rear end issues in the pictures. They look great on the car. Very happy with this purchase. These exceeded my expectations!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thank you Automobile Atlanta and thank you to everyone who helped put this group buy together.

yes 149.50 for 914 club members, we have at least 500 sets in stock, as we had to make that many to cover the expensive tooling costs, have them in the euro and the usa versions.
These were glued originally by Hella being made in segments, so we made them the same way for the sake of originality. Brutus the Porsche 916 is wearing a set, so we know that the quality and look will pass the highest concours muster.

I have a habit of never thinking about the return on costs when making parts we need for our 914s. The per piece cost is ok, but the tooling is crazy. So then I figure that If I make a thousand lenses the per piece cost including the tooling is ok, so sign up for that. What I forget to calculate is how long it will (if ever) to sell all of those lenses.


For example, I still have over 500 1.7 muffler brackets I make about 20 years ago!!!!! (anyone need one?)
