I have three of them with magnets glued to the back scattered around one on the fridge and tool boxes. It doesn't work on the fridge, sometimes I still grab the warm beer.

I believe that. IMHO the new badges look very cheap compared to the badges on our 996s.

Default Badge

On my 2001 996, I replaced mine with a $3.00 sticker purchased at the dealership. Looks great and saves weight!

if there was an "optional" crest, I am sure you picked the more $$$ one....because the less $$$ one looks like crap !! (sold at Sunset too!)


I bought a shiny new one too

Chinese Porsche crests - what has the world come to? OTOH, maybe the China crest wont fall off?
