Default Center caps on my 996 cab.

All of a sudden I noticed my Porsche emblems on my center caps are faded, what's up with that!?

Karma from driving to fast on public roads?

I would think they all wouldn't fade equally though.

Of course they would all fade equally because they were all going too fast together!

When you buy some new center caps, make sure you protect them from UV rays. "How do I do that?" you ask! Well, I'll tell you. Just cover them up with duct tape. They will last indefinitely! Sorry, it's Friday and I am a little batty!

Go to Boothe Designs on the internet. Ralph makes his by hand using hood badges. More expensive than the factory but jewel like in appearance. And they won't fade like the plastic crap the factory sells.

Brandeywine has them for 185 for the set. I emailed Ralph about then this week.
