Snooping in a friends garage and found this reflector in a corner. Sorta weird.

Was it made in China?
They seem to have a bit of trouble spelling things in the assembly manuals that I've used.

That is my guess or Mexico. Until I saw this though I was un aware that anyone made any fakes.

Dudes, that is not a fake. That is the rear reflector for the badass (Po- Her- Ski) POHERSC 149-4. Killer car but infamous for rust and oil leaks.

When Tim at Z products had the rear update business before we purchased it from him, one could order any thing at all screen printed on the rear reflector. I suspect that is what happened here. Someone ordered it as a joke.

NO
the ones with the black outline around it are all aftermarket made just for the 914.
the 911 units are cut on each side to fit a 914 and don't have a black outline at all.
also, the 911 units are real reflectors (hit 'em at night with a flashlight and you'll see what i mean) while the aftermarket ones don't reflect much at all at night ...

Friends shouldn't let friends order custom rear reflectors when they are both on the late night drinking thread....
That's my story and Im sticking to it.....
