Default Brand New Reproduction Front and Rear bumper top pads are now available!

We just got a crate in today of Front and Rear bumper top pads. They are amazingly good quality. I personally test fitted a set to a car today and they fit like a well worn catchers mitt.



For anyone who had already ordered a set, yours are on their way out the door ASAP! For anyone who still wants a set, we have plenty! All you have to do is call.

LOL, it would be a quick way to double the value of my car! That said, I think I'll put a little more Armor All on the old ones, at least until after I drive the car a few times!

LOL! Yeah, the market is rough. These parts keep getting discontinued, and we certainly can't make them in the volume that Porsche did, so they cost us A LOT more per item. We had to have 500 sets made in order to get them this low, hopefully we can sell 500 sets! Are there even 500 914s left on the road?

Anyway, for anyone who is curious, there is also a link to this new product in the "RL Parts Marketplace".

I'm sure they're worth every penny, but when you're dealing with $1500 cars...

One of these days the 914 market is going to take off; maybe after Sports Car Market magazine publishes stats that 90% of them have rusted away, or been converted into race cars. Then they will edge into that hard to find market, and maybe a few will sell for decent bucks at auction. In the meantime, we get to drive cool cars that people can't identify, and don't want to steal.
