I sent everyone who did not have a payment status next to their name a reminder last night, but it looks like the response was dismal.....
Puebloswatcop
A true shame. I talked to one of the guys who purchased a set and he said the quality was "really really good". Oh well, if we don't get the group buy I will still buy 2 sets, might just take me a bit longer.

Puebloswatcop and rmital - truly appreciate the work you guys put in on this.

all is not lost...maybe they will honor those who are participating by the end of today?
I would prefer if they did just that.
If they extended the offer, I'll mail back the checks I received and let those forward to AA if they choose to wait.
mb911
I could be persuaded to buy a set in a couple weeks if they extend it but . can't now trying to buy all the parts to make it a roller 1st.. I will check back.
rmital
AA reached 28 sets paid for....and they "will" honor the deal.
I'll send checks sent to me first thing Monday morning.
They will start to ship orders this Thursday, July 21 flag.gif

WOOHOO! That is great news that AA is allowing this to move forward.

rmital - thanks again for organizing this group buy.

rmital - My car is still in the rebuild phase, but I'll post a picture of them installed on the tail light buckets off the car to show how they fit.

I'll get a picture tomorrow after I get off work at 5, should be able to post a picture later in the night.

Someone with a more complete car will have to provide a picture of the fit actually installed on the car.
turnaround89
As promised. I think the fit is absolutely great. I have some banged up tail light buckets and these repros fit very well. Please ignore my rear end issues in the pictures. They look great on the car. Very happy with this purchase. These exceeded my expectations!!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Thank you Automobile Atlanta and thank you to everyone who helped put this group buy together.

914 rubber has a group buy going on them now. AA is selling them now for 149 to club members..
dr914@autoatlanta.com
yes 149.50 for 914 club members, we have at least 500 sets in stock, as we had to make that many to cover the expensive tooling costs, have them in the euro and the usa versions.
These were glued originally by Hella being made in segments, so we made them the same way for the sake of originality. Brutus the Porsche 916 is wearing a set, so we know that the quality and look will pass the highest concours muster.
dr914@autoatlanta.com
We have the euro lenses! Over 500 sets in stock. I never know what possesses me to make so many of one part! Probably never sell all of these in the next ten years!Click to view attachment

Wow! That's a lot of tail light lenses!
mb911
And to repeat they really are as nice as described..
dr914@autoatlanta.com
I have a habit of never thinking about the return on costs when making parts we need for our 914s. The per piece cost is ok, but the tooling is crazy. So then I figure that If I make a thousand lenses the per piece cost including the tooling is ok, so sign up for that. What I forget to calculate is how long it will (if ever) to sell all of those lenses.


For example, I still have over 500 1.7 muffler brackets I make about 20 years ago!!!!! (anyone need one?)
