I threw mine away about 15 years ago because they were rusty and I haven't got around to replacing them. I think cleaner is better though.

I always think that an early 911 in stock form looks right with over riders on. It also helps give it that classic look which helps seperate it even further from the later 911's. Having said that the car looks great either way! 8)

Off in my case, as I removed the ugly rubber US ones.

However, if there were a nice set of Euro chrome ones I could fit, then I might think differently.

always think the front over riders give the early 911 a rather "wild boar" sort of look.
slightly more agressive which i have to confess i rather like. but i've voted for without as i think its more eer "British"
