Enough tip toeing around. Somebody has to say it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) I'm not opposed to side stripes but that color combo makes me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

I like the side stripes, too, but that color just doesn’t work... maybe yellow to match the rear caliper?

Also, Neon green would “go” better with silver, IMO.

No. Only side stripes I've ever liked are the "Carrera" ones...

I've never seen the rocker panel installation before. Does it hold up down low? Irish greenish. Dif colored sets depending on your mood. Mixed colors. Off the car would make the task a breeze.

IMHO just feeds NARP syndrome.

Dino owners don't need to put Ferrari logos on the side. 914's don't either in my opinion.

If you're driving it just because it says Porsche or feel the need for the world to know that, you're probably driving it for the wrong reason.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)


My sentiments exactly. Always thought the decals were a result of a NARP complex and a need for validation of a 914 choice.

I vote off, not needed, not attractive either. Suggest none, or black if you absolutely have to.

Most all Porsches have run these type of decals, including the mid-engine air-cooled race cars.. so I see no reason a 914 shouldn't if the owner likes 'em. Should we remove our engine lid letters too? It's not to everyone's taste, I understand .. but NARP = kiss my (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)

The stripe has been on some 914s since new. Dad's 74 had it and I like it, but its all about what you like.
