I still am considering that red for my car.. It is a very nice color..


Phoenix red is more orange than red.
Tangerine is more red than orange.

Both colors are awesome on a 914.

Looking swell. I think the owner is going to really enjoy the car once the power is back.

You should weld up the warts on the front of this car. They don't look right on a flared car AT ALL. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Carry on.

The side markers are referred to as "warts".

Car is really coming along!

Hmmmm, I will approach the subject with my buddy. My gut feeling is that they will stay but, we will see.

Lose the warts please! Nobody wants a wart on their face, hence the name for those lights around here. If you have to ask, your gut isn't trustworthy! Would you like some kimchi? A tasty probiotic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
(just poking fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) but... )

With all the work he's doing he should get rid of them. They are not on any of the original GT's and they do look off.

I think they may have been retained on (some of?) the M471 street cars destined for the US, though. There's a photo of one in Brett Johnson's book, I believe. The light is moved forward and down, as the original location is now part of the flare.
