I was thinking of shipping merging similar for my suby build. But I have to do it on the cheap so it will probably be a vinyl wrap.

Thats very nice as well. For me its either some variation of red or black. Leaning towards black and I know I will have a ton of body work but I painted this car in my garage.Attached Image

Ben - killer paint job you did! If you want to practice paint a 914, I'll volunteer my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
And you can't go wrong with black. It was always one of my favorites on a flared car.

First 914 I ever saw was a stock mid year car in black. Parked next door while my neighbors were having a party. Early 70's but I remember like yesterday. Ironic since I can barely remember yesterday.
