I am new to 914's and one of the items my car needs is a front bumper pad.
I generally shy away from repro parts in favor of NOS or good quality used parts.
I am hoping to get a new pad soon and was curious what the market value for NOS pads and good used pads are.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Bob

NOS ones are fairly rare & big $$$ if you find any. It all depends on how original you want your car to be.
There are fiberglass and rubber repros available that look great.
Check out Mark's site (Mikey914) at www.914rubber.com, probably the best rubber repros you'll find ...

Do yourself a favor.
Go to 914Rubber.com
His repros are BETTER than NOS.
I am getting a rear when my next ship comes in.

I have a very good use but not perfect rear top bumper rubber for $100. 914 rubber are great for about $300.

Dead nuts on! Marks products have been designed to fill a niche, and are better than original. Save some money too! Have no idea how he finds time to do his day job.

Thanks for the feedback.
For a daily driver you can often find a suitable replacement one that can be cleaned up. More so for the front than the rear.
Bruce had a few that looked pretty good.
Sad thing is what you'll have to pay to have them shipped as they are 1st oversize tier. If you could ship to someone in Bellngham or near the border it would save you some cash too.

I have a front that's in good shape. I'm heading to Tacoma for a soccer tournament this weekend if you wanted to meet halfway I'll bring it with me. Email me if interested and I'll take a picture tonight and send it to you.
