they have the front bumper top for the 1970-1974 914 for $202 on ebay which seems high for such a simple part, but i'm looking at the new automotion catalog and they have it listed for $302, if you ask me, $100 is a big difference.

i've bought from partwerks and they delivered which is good, but it was over-priced but i didnt know better at the time...all i can say is its getting tougher and tougher to find one place that sells parts at decent prices and is reliable.

I think GRP sells them for just over 200
PP sells them for 250 PAP was selling them for about 220 Im sure there are others but this should show you that there are other, more reliable sources out there without having to deal with possibly not getting what you ordered. |

Strasse has them for $199.95. Visit strasseusa.com Never pay too much and Automotion is always among the highest priced. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

remember PerfProd/Automotion gives a PCA discount, you have to ask for it, but it's there.

Anyone actually CALLED and priced these ?? We just sold one and it wasnt anywhere CLOSE to 180$. More like 300$. This was a true Porsche part. What you SEE priced on websites is rarely (if ever) updated. The Ebay ad may show 202$, but did it sell or is that their "buy it now" price ?

i bought a rear from gpr for the $190 price. the whole thing is plastic. not the padded version like the oem. that's ok by me. it looks the same and it should'nt get the waves oem get and rust inside or tear.
