I see them both ways, on high quality, low-mile, original 914s.
Which is correct and original? This first car is George's 10K mile 1974 car. Attached image(s)

Tom, rumor has it, the "S" designation on the 73 2.0 model year cars were made of the same material as the seat belt decal. Over time they faded, and hence an enigma.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Maybe I can get it re-anodized neon green for Pat? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Hey Pat, they had a matching 914-LE badge in neon green too!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Poor Jeff was trying to have a serious originality topic here, & in come the clowns! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) OK, let's get serious here! They were neon orange on the Grasshopper too! Now, as to the original spin. Here's the deal on fluoro printing. Got this from the original patent holder back in 1970 (the chemist who developed it & made millions from it). Fluorescent backgrounds are cute, but significantly compromised by UV and fluorescent lighting. The life span is very short before they start changing to different shades. Particularly if your 914 is parked in the sun. Or, if you have high levels of fluoro lighting in your garage. Talk to the retailers who typically use the colors on markdowm products. They begin fading in 2 weeks. Change from orande to yellow. Because they are surrouned by fkourescent lighting. There are a couple of guys who have remaunufatered these pieces & they are good. But, expect them to fade quickly too. Two years tops in the sun. Have some, but will wait to put them on. Pat |
