Well done. Gaps look good, and the front end is clean, with Miata-esque lines.

Not sure about the turn signal placement, though. Is that street legal (can it be seen from the front?)

I'll get a picture taken of the rear. She is a wide load I'm warning ya. The back is 8" wider than stock. Like a old girlfriend of mine LOL. The turn sognals have a place in the front air dam, but I decided that they will house some HIDs to make up for the stock low power beams. The turn signals where they are can be seen fairly clear from the front.

Thanks for the good words of encouragement. I wasn't sure how the car was going to be recieved.

Well done. I've seen 3 rayco kit 914's. One was done pretty crappy & looked like crap. The other I saw at Renegade hybrids & drooled all over it! Yours is definately in the drool class. Looks sweet man good job!

Thanks Tat,...I figured I'd be a wee bit different on the inside as on the out. I'd love to have some of those 911 looking door panels. Maybe I can take a look at one and have someone make the skins to stretch over the existing bare panel. I have seen a few people do it and darn it looks nice.

I totally agree with you! I have interior demented plans as well, so I like it when someone does something different and does it very well! I'm going for brushed aluminum door panels, gauge plate, and glove box... remove the "basket weave" from the dash, leaving the flat black that's behind. should be fun!

That is a great idea on the brushed aluminum! That would have a visual impact for certain. Please post some pics when / if you do it. I'd be interested in seeing what it looks like. I like different things. I'm going to stay with the black, maybe have some read tastefully sewn in red stripes or piping. Always something ya know?...money ,..money,...money. LOL

sounds sweet! I definately want to see that!

money is one main reason for going with aluminum... I can do it myself! I saw a beetle years ago that did something similar(of course they MAKE the replacement parts for beetles though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ) and it looked very clean and striking!
