However I opted for the ruf clone look with SC/Carrera rear flairs. I would like to have a long hood too, but in reality, this is enough.

My 914 is a dedicated DE car, and one day I want to make a street legal 914 again, and have it be unusual too.

Here is a picture of my dash. ( I deleted the heater and the radio and the car weighs 2350. I did put in electric seats out of a 95, but everything else was to try to make it light.

I know what you mean. If I had the money, I'd probably have a warehouse full of them with every little variation. I hate it when people say that 911's all look the same.

I have had quite a few 911s but never a red one until 2010 when I bought this 86. I drove it from Athens, OH, Oct 2011 to Spokane. WA. It never missed a beat w/21-23 mpg. I never liked red in any car but tastes change and I deemed this one my last 911. Who knows?

my 1977 S. Original color - just with some new "stuff" added.

Love the color on the '80s Carreras...

I couldn't resist posting some more correction pictures!





I have had quite a few PMs looking for what products I use, so here's the basics. If you would like more info, please feel free to PM me

First, I wash and claybar. I used a dual action polisher (porter cable 7424) in a two-step correction. I would go at cutting with an orange hex-logic pad and Meguiars 105. Then finish with a white finishing hex-logic pad and Meguiars 205. Finally, seal and wax, and honestly the car is a completely different entity in the sun or direct light. Beauitful!

WOW. I love the body/bumper choices and execution. You may have just cost me a lot of money. Looks fantastic!

[mr 911]

Question, Are the black stone guards a factory option on the SC's?
Im debating on weather to put them on mine. After looking at all these pictures, my guard red SC seems naked








(now sold)

Mine is an 89 Carrera, so I cannot say about the SC, but I put my stone guards on the week I bought it (back in '95). I think it gives some definition to the rear haunches and though they will never be as wide as a turbo, it does accentuate them some. I also like the break up of the mass of red down there and they match the other black parts. I have the mirror bra's on my flag mirrors more for the black look than the protection.

@lada -did your tint guy forget to do the driver and passenger windows and the windshield tint strip?

Mine now with duck tail and staggered 17x9 and 16x7's, got to lower it a bit on the back.

The PO did the tints, I had the car since december and will tint out the rest in the summer.

As far as the stone guards, I think they look good on a car with a whale tale. If mine didnt have it, I would just go for the clean/classy look and leave it off

every car I ever owned was red)




1986 Audi coupe GT



1983 Audi UR Quattro with my dads 81' SC



1991 VW GTI 16V

The red and black contrast just work in my opinion.

My tint is slightly ummm darker than allowed. 20% In Florida you need it. Sun is bright and hot, but I also like how it looks. Tint is the fisrt mod I do on every vehicle.

[Synchro Joe]

Oh sure, why not?

And for the really slow weekends.
