Do they still exist?

Thanks,

To install you need to drill 6 large holes in the rear panel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Purists hate them, I like mine enough that I have no motivation to remove it.

The 914 aftermarket version doesn't reflect like a 911 OE reflector, mostly because of this many peeps would cut down a 911 reflector.
Also you have to buy or figure out a cable or electric trunk release, some cut a buttonhole but IMO it looks hacky.

Thanks all - push button hole not an option with the plate.

Maybe some day.

A PO removed the 914 - 2.0 badge from mine - no idea why......

Several years ago we bought the company that had always made them Z products. Was a very popular dealer installed and or aftermarket accessory back then when SOME woujld take a drill to the car (like those who installed hood badges, dual tornado mirrors, or ski racks! These days we do not well that many as most are restoring their cars to the factory look. Instead we sell the 911 one we make as an inexpensive replacement for the 74-86 911 models

You would think modern magnets would hold it on versus drilling the big holes. When I had one, I drilled an 1/8” hole in the “S” for emergency’s when the solenoid stopped working.

I have a nice used one. PM me if you're interested @Gatornapper It would require drilling the tail panel, and a solenoid or cable release kit.

RE: "Porsche" tail pieces for 914:

They normally make and carry these, are currently out, waiting for re-supply. Was a factory option on 914's originally. $225 Come with remote trunk release so button is replaced.

Part #RZP9141

I plan to add at some point in future.

George - did I just talk to you on the phone?

Was told some are coming.....is this the same one on the 911's? or does the 911 one fit the 914?

Thanks,

GN

I like mine. I have been called a lot of things but NEVER a "purist". The only "original" parts on my car are the doors and trailing arms. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Gator, You may know that the rear 914-2.0 emblem on the 76 models was a vinyl tape label, not a raised plastic or metal script as on earlier cars. I have a 76 and always resented the OEM bean counters for saving a buck or two on that substitution. I have no idea if the vinyl tape emblem is still available.

The Originals were 911 ones that at the time sold for about $78 that the 914 guys cut down to show they are a real Porsche.

And yes take George up on the 2 sided tape

Carl - LOVE the look - I'm not a purist either - I want what I like and could not care less what others think.

To me it places the car in the Porsche family visually and powerfully and at least visually removes it from being the unwanted step-child.....which all of us here know is not true for sure....

George - did NOT know that - but my car was repainted 2 PO's before me and I guess they removed them.

Someone here has some for sale......might go with that until I get the plastic one.

Any reason the plastic full length one could not be held in place with good 3M double-sided tape rather than the pieces that require drilling?

You could light it up too. This one was lit using the strip LEDs.

I prefer the '84-'89 Carrera rear panel with the PORSCHE in ghost font.
It appears in different lighting, otherwise just looks red
