When I got my 914 I was disappointed that it wasn't an appearance group car. It's a plain jane, black bumpered tangerine 72. I wanted sail panel trim, chrome bumpers, fog lights and a center console. So I started collecting parts. The more I looked at the car the more it grew on me. I really like orange and black as I'm a Giants fan and a Harley guy as well. So I decided against chrome bumpers. Taking the chrome steel wheels off and adding black ATS classics kinda sealed the bumper deal. I kind of decided I liked painted sails so sail trim was out. I installed fog lights with black painted grills and really like them. After looking at cars with center consoles they seem a bit cramped so now I'm thinking about not installing that either.
I'm wondering how many of you have added appearance group stuff and if so did you add bits and pieces or go "full appearance group"? I'm also curious if anybody has removed appearance group stuff from their cars and if so, why? I've always liked the looks of the fog lights over the plain grills so those are staying for sure. I'm getting old enough I'll take all the light I can get! |

I don't like the consoles too much. I like the spareness without it. Air cooled porsches are neat in that they don't have a big trans tunnel to break up the interior space. If I ever get around to doing carpet in my 911, the little cubby console is going to go.
I also love the look of the black front bumpers with black fog light grilles. I really liked the simpleness and no chrome on my non-appearance group 73 I had a while back. They all grow on you in different ways. Attached image(s) |
