Full Version: 914 parts
I received a catalog in the mail today - DPS Motorsports. I've never heard of them before. They are located in Agoura Hills , CA. Anybody know anything about them? One thing I noticed in the catalog is that they offer left and right taillight lenses in US and European styles. Also have the whole assemblies. I've never seen just the lenses available - at least not for several years. It appears that they have a decent selection of seals and weather stripping for 914's. No endorsement - as I said I don't know anything about them but potentially a source for us parts-starved 914 owners.

not really. looks like a outlet of a larger parts-pusher ...
i guess it all depends on if they can deliver ...

DPS is owned by a relative of mine- Dayton Emerson, and his partner, Mark Laughlin. They have been doing primarily newer Porsche stuff for several years (5-10). If you look around the site you'll see Dayton's car at Willow. It's the black car with the DPS motorsports logo. He does quite a bit with PCA and POC.
They are small compared to say, Pelican or Performance Products, but growing. They recently decided to branch out into the older Porsche's. That's why your now seeing the 914 and 356 stuff. I'll let him know about this site, he may want to chime in.
As far as I know he's got a very good reputation for delivering quality parts. It's normally been new stuff for newer porsches. I don't know what his experience is with 914's.
