yes certainly could be, just remove the studs and double face tape on

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?

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

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.

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...

Enjoy your reflector. I'm not trying to take that away from you. Like I said, my car has one.

The true value of these cars going forward is getting more critical. I'm just saying, a car with one may be valued less. They are not cheapo cars to toy with as much as they used to be because the values for originality are going UP and will only go up harder on a serious curve. If you car has one, enjoy it. But adding one to a good car will now DEvalue it. Simple truth bro.

Rand, Rand, Rand,
You completely missed my point. There are many other values besides dollars, that's all.

If you really want to do that to your car, get one of the genuine 911 reflectors and cut it to length, remove the studs and mount it with some double sided tape.

The 911 reflectors look a lot better than the after market repros which don't even reflect.

LOL, you missed mine. It's ok, do whatever you want to your car. A decade ago I did too. But again, consider where the value of these cars are going and how mods you make will affect that. I have no problem with you modding all you want. Just wising up a bit in my old age with mine. In the next decade, original features will be worth multiple of one with silly mods like fake vanity reflectors.

You couldn't pay me to put one of those on my car.

But, to each his own.

I went a little different route. Used LED strip on the tail panel at the edge of the weatherstrip, and reflective tape on the underside lip of the decklid to reflect the light down.

Goes perfectly with the 17 on the license plate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Nope it’s not a strip, it’s from a Cadillac deck lid, modified. Very bright. See bottom of page 3 in the link.
