Porsche hood crest price
Did you guys know the 996 hood crest is more than double the price of the 997 version at least based on the quote I got at the dealership?
Turns out the 996's is much more intricate and 3D than the flatter, simpler, smoother 997 crest.
I got a chuckle of out it for some reason.

When you close your trunk, push on the hood and not the crest and you won't need to buy a new crest anytime soon.

I dont know about that, I have never used the crest to close my hood and it fell off anyways.

yes the 997 is smoother and uglier... dont cheap out, but the good one.....
BTW the GT3 RS has a sticker.... its all about weight savings to the MAX !

The hood crest on the 997 cars changed midcycle. I believe they started going with the ones with a smooth clear finish on it in MY08.

since that other thread (the all you need to know about consoles) was a fail.... anyone have pics of the 997 vs 996 badge.
Slow day on RL.

The Porsche manual on the 997 indicates you should press down on
the crest in order to properly close the hood.
I would not suggest pressing down on the aluminum hood to close the trunk.

I usually just lower it than hit it dead center with the heel of my shoe until it finally closes.

I guess that's better than having a fat chick sit on the hood.
