I use a sticker that I magnetized sometimes when I autocross:






I hear the crest is good for another 5hp.

Sorry, but to me it looks like you'd just die if someone did not realize your car was a Porsche. Just like the light-up rear panel that says: 'I need people to realize this is a PORSCHE even at night and from behind.'

Actually the rear light up panels kill me, LOL. Because, unless the rear decal has been deleted, it says "Porsche" 3 times back there then (wing, panel, decal below).

The Turbo guys that have the "Turbo" lighted panel are slightly different, theirs is:

hoffman912,
If you wanted a quick extra Early style crest hood badge, you can now order them through Performance products for 39.95 and includes gasket and fasteners. Also the sticker and Decal question can be answered here. Avaliable from the same place are: Decals up to 15" for 15.00, and Horn pad crests for 60.00.
NO I DO NOT WORK FOR THEM.
Just thought you might be interested.

I wanna get one of those rear panels, just to hang it in the garage with some lights inside, or hang it in my room or something cool.

I dont like them too much on the rear, but thats only because the plate has to get moved down to the spot on the bumper.

When I purchased my car it had the lighted rear Porsche panel... I took it off in hopes that the stock body behind it was in good shape... NOT, it appears the person who drilled the holes for the panel missed his mark 6 or 10 times. Ive never seen so many holes drilled in a piece of metal before in my life... Looks like a trip to the autparts store for some gasket goop is needed...
Damn people!
