As many of you have been aware, George decided to make the roll bar pads we have been working on for some time. I have to admit, dimensionally and for fit it works. Yes many do need these.
The only issue we had with this piece is the finish. It is more of a spatter texture, that and the gloss level is more flat. Overall a goo piece for a daily driver. So after some discussion we opted to bring in 10 and provide a daily driver quality part. We will also be continuing to make the concurs piece. The agreement is that we will not undersell AA in price. We will match any sales. Currently retail is $250. We will also make our version available to AA with the same understanding.

I will have to agree with Mark and everyone that this is a good option for all 914 owners especially for something that was unattainable for so long.
Doesn't matter if your 914 Rubber or AA it takes a huge commitment in time and money to get these types of products to the market. So even if the finish is not exact on the AA version it is better than what I have on my car at this point. A different texture verses missing chunks and many cracks seems like a minor issue. I am a customer of 914 Rubber and AA and I have an understanding of what it takes to get these products developed and made. In the end I want the best quality and closest to original as possible so we will see what the end result is and make the call. Well done guys! |
