My 73 914 2.0 after considerable modifications including a rebuild to 2056 by Mark DeBernardi after a recommendation from this forum. Mark's engine really transformed the car into a routy fun machine!
Many thanks,
Boston Tom

Nice car with a nice engine.
Personally, I would lose the sail panel stickers and the winged pegasus stickers. Sorry.

I like this car but agree loose the porsche decal. If I had to do it over I'd loose my hood badge. Here's your West Coast Poor cousin.
Congrats on your sweet build!!!

Love the interior and the exterior.
The gulf sticker on the front fender looks good.

Great looking car.
Decal all you want but put them on refrigerator magnet material so you can take them off and on as you please. Hobby stores have the material in sheets or rolls and its cheap.
Oscars car looks fantastic in photos and in person!
I do that with the fender Scuderia badges on my 308GTSi which didn't come with them but it looks cool sometimes.
Its your car do what makes you happy!

B-Tom,
Great looking M.C. tribute 914, & glad you like the 2056 by Mark B's bump in power.
I agree with shithot above vs. your smaller Pegasus decal facing rearwards - Pegasus was always pictured running forwards on the race cars IIRC & AFAIK (I'm sure someone will find an exception to prove me wrong) - & the bigger Peg' on the front fender flank stands out more. You should be able to find a set of 2 mirror images like those pictured above.
Also, put another 2056 sticker on your back window behind or to the left of the driver headrest, so it can be seen with the engine lid closed while your running - if they can get close enough!
I agree with others that your P-crest sticker on the sail is distracting to the eye from the nice lines of the 914, but ... hey, it's your car!
Cheers!
Tom

I'd put the small pegasus at the front fender - where someone dubbed in the larger pegasus - and face it forward on each side. The small one that you have is more subtle and appropriate IMHO. Lose the sail panel sticker. Or do as you wish, either way it's a Great looking car !! well done.

It looks very clean and nice. Well done. Keep the stickers if you want!
I would not tell you to lose it is you get artistic license, but!

Congrats on your new found HP. Your interior is stunning...
I have to get on the band wagon with less is more, please lose all the stickers. Make the one on the hood a magnet and put on for rally’s.

Hi Tom,
Like the car, particularly the interior.
Would you mind sharing the name of the Tartan plaid you used on your seats?
Thanks,
Bill.

Clean rig, congratulations. I'd lose the stickers all over the car. I'd add a rear valance and lower the front a tad.
Sail vinyl might be a nice addition too.
Bitchin car and nice interior.
