We are now making rear roll bar bolsters, all three parts. After years of obsolesce from Porsche and the very time consuming and expensive cost to recover, we have now developed perfect ones, for a very inexpensive price to replace that badly cracked set of yours. All three matching pieces will be 199.50 or just the roll bar pad for 150.00

They are on the way, so taking orders only 25 available at the club group buy discount, and the cutoff for orders is Feb 28th.

Finish does not look very close to original. And 914 Rubber has them now too at a much better price where you don't have it bundled with the pillar covers that rarely need replacement.

our finish will be spot on, as well as the top bolster being offered for 150 by itself. Too bad that vendors duplicate what others have already made.

It is not bad. It is called competition. And most people prefer to not deal with you, your company and so many of you poor quality products and epic fail customer service.

I agree with Bruce, today I cancelled the second order in the last two months on account of poor service.

Hi Robert, Interior pieces take a bit of time to make, especially the one year only 71 naugahyde seat cushions and back rest you ordered. Our lady Sue, past president of the local Porsche club, works her knuckles to the bone. Ordered the 30th now it is the 17th will be ready at the beginning of next week if you still want it. We are lucky to be able to find this one year only material!!! Glad we talked yesterday because you had ordered the incorrect piece anyway man!

Hello George, I'll pass for now, I have two other cars I'm working on. Like you said yesterday after I cancelled the order, "no problem, more for others".

ok no problem, when she makes these 71 parts she makes them in bulk ,and then we have them for awhile for anyone who may order.
Funny, when we were reinstalling the factory tan interior in the willow green six there was a small place in the passenger seat that interrupted perfection. Sue was able to find this rare rare material, and make a new cover PERFECTLY and even the die lot was correct!!!! That woman is amazing and quite an asset for our company and fellow 914 owners

Hello George, I just received a call from Sue, which I really appreciated. Thank you. After speaking with her for a few minutes and understanding the situation, I told her that I would like to replace my order and also send me both the driver side and the passenger side covers. Had I known this was a special order and it would take 30 days, I wouldn't have complained.
Thanks George

Thankful for everyone making parts for these cars. Petty, spiteful duplication seems like wasted effort though. Making something else thats needed would be more helpful.

I am very happy there is competition in the 914 marketplace. With only one seller, we are at their mercy for price, quality and service. I like choices.
