Hello, I am a new member 914er. I am an old 911 guy turning 914. I always liked the 914. So I got one to try it out. Also this is the first posting I have ever done anywhere. So here goes. I am interested in the Negative "porsche" stripes on the side of the cars. I have always liked those stripes...but then, I was a 5 or 10 yr old kid and thought they were wonderful. Has anyone ever seen black stripes on black car? Perhaps wouldn't be so showy. has anyone ever seen any color on a black car? Are the stripes still approved of these days? Also, If I get some, I would like to find some that truly look factory or at least dealer. So any leads? A lot of words, I will be shorter next time. Scott Allen |

Positive stripes were available until '74, then replaced by the better looking(my opinion) negative stripes. Got my original positive stripes for my '72 from the dealer in late '72, but they refused to install them. It was easy - the length of the striping pretty much dictates its position on the car. Same for the negatives. Don't think there was a prescribed mounting instruction.
When the negative stripes came out there were more colors available - don't remember how many. Your black car would be gorgeous with silver stripes in it! I do remeber that they were harder to remove than to install, though a fairly simple task with a hair dryer. Good Luck & welcome to the 914 "non-club"! |
