They will look great! Nice work in getting the 5 lug instead of CL! Is there a way of locking those center caps on the wheel? I had someone steal my PORSCHE valve stem caps!

So I ordered one off eBay...I think it's CarerraEast judging by the quality - it's top notch.

However it's a badge from a 996 and the posts are about 1mm-1.5mm different than the 991. It's hard to see side-by-side. But when you compare with the 991 rubber gasket the difference is quite obvious.

Not sure what I'm going to do since it looks wrong when I installed it. So I took it off. Perhaps Dremmel off the posts and just 3M tape it.

Jim will be happy to exchange it if you ask him; however, if it fits the recessed area on your frunk lid well you could do that. Either way, use some 3M tape, which Jim suggests and what I did albeit mine lined up:

Reviving an old thread. Anyone buy a crest replacement from Elite Auto? Wondering about the quality and fit.

I'm wondering about this myself? I went to the "contact" page and didn't find an email or phone number. Seems odd?

This pic alone would make me give it a hard pass... The ol' vertical badge fitment.
