Hi Pat Options

Then there is the plehora of "euro" lights, which shouldn't have side markers either. But, so many think it's cool to have "euros". Wrong again!

Guess it's time to whip out that photo of the "Patmobile" with the Euro lenses on the rear huh. And YES it does exist Oscar. I guess you were cool back then?

With this post I hereby crown myself King of the Rear Fog (although in all fairness the title should go to Mr. Bliznik.)

Behold:

A nice original Hella box arrived today:


It had a new style lens but I immediately took it off (didn't want to be shunned by the judges for having a late model lense on my 74 914-6/GT recreation) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)


Shiney new (look closely in the reflection and "gig" away at what I did to that poor 911!):


I took out the new gasket:


And bolted on the new (old) lens:


Full on FOG!

Yep, I had them (in 1987). Gave them away after one year, because I would be slaughtered in concours. They were cool, but so wrong.
Now, excuse me for reminding readers here. This IS an originality forum.

Raer fogs WERE illegal in th US on 914's. That sorta makes them unoriginal, does it not? If that's the case, why do allow these posts on this forum.

Because I firmly believe that originality drives up the value of these cars. As my 914 stands right now, there is only one non-original part on it (ONE). That will change to two when I change the tires.

I will continue to allow "blasphemers" to show how they have degraded a 914, because that is the only way to maintain originality. I can counter every non-original thing you've done. And, it's broadcasted here, which is going to hurt your resale.

Yep, could have moved all these posts, but wanted those theat need help see that nice cars could trash originality upon whim.
