Looking for old hood badge & center caps
Does anyone have an old hood badge they'd like to off load? Any condition as long as its still got the mounting tabs since its going to get stripped down to bare metal.
As well, I'm hunting some plastic wheel center caps that have the black painted on crest. Any condition as well, as they will be painted.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Keith,
I'm currently in the process of getting a set of MY'02 rims powder coated black. I wanted center caps that had the logo indented into the plastic so that when I painted them the logo would still be visible. The caps that came with the wheels just had the logo screened on. After searching on here and ebay for a few weeks, I found a set on ebay for $90, the same day I was ordering some parts from Jeff @ Sunset and I asked him how much they would be - $12 each! I almost dropped the phone. Thankfully I hadn't bid on the ebay ones yet. Anyway - getting to the point - if you want indented logo caps you know where to get them, if you don't care about that then pm me your address and you can have my old ones for free.

I had a link to what I thought was the Sunset online parts website, but going to their dealership page I can't find a link....maybe it was some other site....but I DID notice that. Relatively cheap Porsche parts...who would'a thought! Just seems a little wrong to take a perfectly good, NEW part and repaint it immediately, but that's probably what I'll have to do.
ah HA! I'm not going nuts...it was Suncoast (not Sunset!) Porsche with the online page....

(That said, Jeff at SunSET has been GREAT in the past, so I'll call him again!)
Are you going gloss or (mmmm) flat black on the MY02s? I really liked these:

Aber arbeiten sie?
Sounds cool.
I was going to reproduce it in Carbon fibre. If you need the pins on it are you going to re colour it?

In this thread is one of Andreas' black hood badge versions and I was thinking it would look good on my silver hood.

There's a close up pic of another on a clock, but I can't find the link.
I'm usually a purist on my Pcars, so this is a stretch for me, but once I was thinking of going with the black wheels and saw this, I figured what the heck.

Those caps at Suncoast are the same ones, but they were a couple of dollars cheaper, per cap, at Sunset.
I just received my Stage III's from Darin that have been black ceramic coated with matching tips, so I think I'm going to match the wheels to that finish. I didn't want them gloss but I didn't want them 100% flat either. I can't wait to get it done!

, it's a lot darker than in the photo. Originally, I was going to go the purist route and keep everyting stock, but then I thought as soon as you change one thing it's not really stock anymore - so you might as well do what you want

Still looking for a donor hood badge & center caps with the pressed in emblem (not the glued on colored badge). I'm willing to pay for them and the shipping if that helps.
I also picked up a black hood badge that Mark D sold on here. It looks pretty cool IMHO. I believe it was one of these: http://pcars.com/porsche_parts/shop....it/p_3014.html
