Well just like the title says has anyone ever tried or have gotten a replacement window tag. I have one missing on my 914 and have no clue where it went. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I think I'll try my non friendly Porsche dealer here for advice but I have a feeling how it's going to end. If someone has done this in the past please let me know. TIA, Luke |

I called the dealer and this is what I got for an answer.
Porsche will only make a replacement tag for 1986 and newer vehicles. The purchaser must be the owner and have all the documentation , title, reg, dealer # if applicable. I was told NYS DMV can issue a tag so I'll check with them at some point. At this point I better start looking through all my boxes of parts. I know as soon as I get a replacement the org one will appear. |

You're lucky it's for a 6 The windshield tags for 4 cylinder cars are stamped with a complicated border. Those for a 6 are plain flat aluminum. With two 90 degree bends. Dimensions could probably be found somewhere.... Machinists have numeral stamps don't they ?.... Plain aluminum can be tinted black with a permanent magic marker can't it ?...... just sayin' What New York police officer would ever know the difference ? Don't do any of these things. It's illegal |

Plus when a fellow 914er walks up to check it out and looks at the vin # he's going to say man it's a real 6... I know they'll do it as I still do.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'll be up in your area in July sometime. I'll give you a call/pm/email when I'm coming. Take care.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
