my thoughts:

signal orange, Aubergine, Black, Adriatic Blue(or whatever color that REALLY is on Joe Sharp's car) , marathon blue, silver

Black would probably be my fav on ANY car, but it has the issues mentioned before(which is why it drops to #3)... I personally love Aubergine, it's like Black, but through polarized lenses (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

but, whatever you like for YOUR car is the question...

one final thought: Vinyl sail panels: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif) I don't care for them, and wouldn't keep them on my car(luckily they aren't there)

UHOH! Wayne! You've gone too far, now I *must* comment on sail panel vinyl.

I don't care what color your car isn't. I don't care how big your wheels aren't, or how much gas you don't have..

SAIL VINYL IS MANDATORY!

Exceptions:

1. Early, early car, Phoenix red, matching bumpers, hubcaps on steels.
2. Early car, black, hubcaps on steels.

I love a 914 in any color blue. I'm also in the group that says "I will never own another Black car" They are beautiful, but not worth the hassle. And I'm with Wayne - Vinyl sucks and if it's going to go on a vehicle, put it on a Pimpmobile not a Porsche.

Sorry I'm with the group that likes the vinyl and at least the chrome trim lower piece.

Orange are my favorites, then platinum gold and black.

Anyone caught driving a 914 that isn't black, with vinyl, and chrome trim, will be.. uhmm.. looked down upon... harshly!

Ok, I'll stipulate to the fact that cars without vinyl sail panels aren't a complete loss, it's easier to fix than the passenger long..

I found this pic while browsing the other night. It is a 1981 color on an older 911. I think it looks great. I bought a pint of it, but in person I don't think it will look right on a 914.

...Oh, and 914s look plain-jane without the vinyl and chrome trim. And it gives the impression that the owner was too cheap to replace the chrome trim and vinyl the right way, so he just left it off. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I think the vinyl is best on lighter colors--to break up the monotony. On the dark colors they are superfluous. Otherwise, I love the stark/minimalist lines of the 914 without the 70s vinyl.

As long as its a 914, any color other that primer, or blisters, looks great.



However my personal preference is red, and the redder the better.. too bad it is not an "official" Porsche red, but it is red.

I will never, ever, never own another black car. Did I say never? I meant ever. I'd rather be driving the thing than detailing it. They look best at night.

Like probably every one else here I favor my own car's color blutorange (tangerine.)

(IMG:http://homepage.mac.com/markd/914/Tangerine/1/Tangerine_Medium_1.jpg)

And I also like the black rockers and valences. It visually lowers the car.

If I had 2 other colors I would choose Anacona Blue. It just glows.

(IMG:http://homepage.mac.com/markd/914/AnconaBlue/1/AnconaBlue_Medium_1.jpg)

Or the color of Brer's car!
