Love this rear panel for the 914 - click to enlarge pic.....
http://www.renegadehybrids.com/914/Subie/Pictures/Pic03.jpg Do they still exist? Think nothing makes the rear of a 914 look better......just my opinion of course...... Thanks, GN |

My current 2.0 has one. It's not a priority to remove, so I haven't yet. I would never have added it. Please don't. I's just wrong now. It adds ZERO value and actually detracts for most. And these days, please do the right things to these cars. They are appreciating most without aftermarket crap attached.

Rand, Rand, Rand, I’m sure you’re probably a nice guy, yet you’re 914 view is very myopic. First of all, some of us couldn’t care less about our 914’s “collector value”. That’s another person in the future that I don’t know. Second, my 914 is willed to my son, and I hope that he derives at least half of the pleasure that I do regularly drifting it around corners. Third, I like the look of my 914 rear end with the reflector on it. Fourth, I have running light LEDs behind the panel that I would bet makes my car MUCH easier to see from the back at night, and thus much SAFER than stock. Fifth, I also have BRAKE light LEDs behind the panel, again vastly improving visibility, and SAFETY over stock. So I respectfully suggest that I have added GREAT value to my 914 in areas like visibility and safety that matter to me instead of, perhaps, some esoteric “value” to some unknown person two generations in the future. That’s just seems “right” for me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Thank you for your post. Ditto to all your thoughts.
LOVE what you did......IF I get one, would love to do what you did exactly, so I'll come back for more details if/when that happens.
