I know this will rub the purists wrong, but I figured out a way to emblematically honor the 914's VW roots. I purchased a 914-VW-Porsche emblem in black and then carefully removed the 914 portion of the script. I did that for two reasons-
First, the original emblem is a bit of a lengthy and ungainly fit on the rear panel, and second, leaving it on would have resulted in redundant "914" scripts. This way I was able to retain the original scripts on the right side without redundancy. As someone who has studied Porsche history in depth, and taught classes about it, I truly appreciate and understand that Porsche and VW are one in the same historically. Just because the factory chiefs decided to only badge European cars (and -6s ?) with the VW-Porsche emblem does not mean U.S. cars are not worthy of the honor (yes, I see it as praise and honor) unlike most. Ok....flame on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Ansbacher  |

Had a 1975 2.0 back in 2010 or so and made a "Type 47" badge for it. Never got around to putting it on though.
