I received my 914 door threshold trim today(from 914rubber) and it is both beautiful and accurate. Below is a side by side comparison
thanks Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)   |

I got mine yesterday too along with many other parts. They do indeed look great. In fact everything I ordered looks great. Thanks very much Mark.

They do look great. Mine are black - was the silver an option? Or were mine silver at one point?

Stock on the 70-74 cars was "silver" the late cars they cut costs and made from plastic, Why I did them in metal is the carpet strips in plastic almost ALWAYS deformed when you tightened them down. 75-76 were black |

Mine also came in. I also have these on my Yellow car. I only install the large piece. I felt that the carpet strip was too bright. Not a reflection on the quality which is very good only matter of taste. Maybe I should paint them black or order a black set from 914 rubber. Anyway, nice product. One of your better deals

I will change this I was not aware that they stared as early as 74 on the stock cars. the back and yellow LE's it would make sense also.
Let me know on the black we have just finished them up. the process is different and makes the finish very durable. It is $10 more on a set, but if you wish to exchange, I would be happy to credit you the purchase price (on return) and charge the same amount + the finishing cost ($10). Just let me know. Mark PS the finishing process on these actually dulls it, they were even brighter before! |
