what do you think of this 914-6? [I bought it!], back to original Irish Green now Options

(UPDATED with comments below)

From the photos, this is what I see that is not correct. Anything I'm missing?

Not correct / things to fix:
- outside mirror
- speaker boxes
- after market front air dam
- 80s radio
- white valve covers
- rust (?) spots on carpet
- painted (?) headlight motors
- 4-cyl center console
- color change back to Irish Green
- wheel center caps need to be anodized or something
- incorrect jack
- black plastic threshold plates and carpet cleat should be aluminum

Not right but no reason to "correct" (IMO):
- Euro lenses
- Euro driving lights vs USA fog lights
- 15x6 Fuchs (was originally steel)

May or may not be correct:
- horn button is not correct
- center seat fabric should be smooth (Center cushion could be the Colgan aftermarket item, period correct)

questions / not sure:
- antenna may not be right... ?
- repro rear trunk carpet (missing grommet). or might be orig.

Anyone know why the factory did this on -6s? It doesn't make any sense to me. It's ugly and seems to serve no purpose.

Only assumptions. I have a video of a 70's era 911 assembly line. The front end is installed as a completed unit as these go down the line. It comes toward the front of the car with the struts in a horizontal position and is tilted into position and bolted up in one smooth operation.

It may be a flag to denote a six tub that would get the basic 911T front suspension (with the exception of the special 17mm 914 size t-bars with the 911 spline count).

They could be aligned differently with the slightly different track and again, the black used as a marker to indicate a six.

I kinda like it. It was applied with a sloppy brush and reeks of one of those quirky -6 things. I even emulated it on my build because I thought it was a neat, yet odd feature.
