Since there has been so much discussion about 914 sun visors I thought I would chime in. Foe a while now, we have been selling our factory look set for 275 new complete with clips and pass mirror and drivers map pocket. They will pass the concours inspection.

However we also sold a cheap alternative. Map pocket but no mirror, heat seamed but not a matching grain to the original. Come with left and right clip, but no center clip (914 rubber makes a nice center clip if you need one. But here it is: The price for two is only 99.50. If you have no visors and a driver 914 these are for you. If you have a concours car, or an original nice nice car they are NOT for you. Look at these yourself and decideAttached Image

The real stupid thing is that Porsche just before they discontinued them, was selling them for 321 EACH and the vinyl grain was not that of a 914 but rather an 88 911! Porsche is making a big deal of their "vintage" program, but what they come up with are not parts that anyone really needs, the remade parts are not identical to the originals, and they are outrageously priced.
I even volunteered to consult with them about what SHOULD be made as I know what quality parts are already out there, but all I hear from them is a bunch of chatter. They are doing it as a ploy to try to reign in some of us who are disenchanted thinking that they care about us and that that caring will translate into us buying one of their new models!
I have a meeting with them in the next couple of weeks and we will see what will happen

Great! Glad to hear it and please do keep us/me informed (via post or PM). A General Manager of the local Porsche "Vintage" program lives down the street. He'd be glad to get some feedback.
