DIY red trumpet horns for early 911's

My 1973 911 lost it's nice red trumpet horns years ago.

I've had a set of black trumpets and more recently snail shells on the car, but I was hearing the siren call of the red trumpets....


Original ones are either non-existent or extremely pricey.
So I put together a set of DIY faux red trumpets.

On eBay I purchased the latest and greatest OEM black trumpets (hi and lo horns) for a decent price (something like $60 ea).
And a can of Krylon Fuson paint specifically for plastic in red pepper color.

A couple hours later et voila....






Also missing were the correct mounting brackets.
But a great Ozzie came thru with a super nice set of reproduction brackets.
Next thing I knew, I was back in business.
They look great, were reasonably priced, and can be replaced/duplicated with ease in the future in case the horns get damaged.
I'm a happy camper once again.

That's "old school" restoration. Simple, practical, inexpensive, and effective. I approve!
