ok..im a newbie here. I have a 911 but a friend of mine has been dabbling with 914s for years. Im tempted to buy a 914 for restoration one day. Unfortunately, i cant leave a car stock and I am looking for tasteful body mods. So far, this is the best looking mix of old, new and aftermarket I have found.
http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/914_photo_...johnson_914.htm Does anyone have any other examples of body mods, links or pics? Thanks, Steve |

the only really tasteful mods are nicely done flares, nice rims, and some subtle things... not big on body-kits... most don't turn out without a really pro install..

Notice the soft rear flares and the hardly noticable front flares. This is by far one of my favorites! The wing might be a little overboard for me but he says its functional and I believe it. Do a search for HPH flares, or soft flares and you will see another option for shoving huge meats under these little cars...... here is another.... Attached image(s) |

Each owner has their own favorites, my 2 cents:
GT Fender flares Rear spoiler - several styles to choose from Rear valence (lower) Front bumper, dam - several styles to choose from Greg |

This thread really opened my eyes abit.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...&hl=soft+flares its amazing how much you can change the attitude of the 914 with subtle changes like flares, rockers and what not. I would have never thought it possible to get 17" Fiskes under a 914 until now... |

That black car is the car that I tried to model my subtle flares after (though I think my body guy was a little more subtle than I had intended). Here's 8" wide Fuchs with 225/45-15 tires squeezed under there.
