The crazy mods just keep coming!
Tackled this today - wasn't sure I would have time for it but took a chance and boy am I glad I did!
Here's that ugly black stem cap:
And here's after I replaced with a beautiful Porsche crest version in silver. What a difference! Now if someone could tell me which direction the crest is supposed to point in...

Well, I ordered the caps from some guy on Amazon for $12. $10 less than on Sunset!
They are good quality but probably Chinese, and took about 6 weeks to arrive.
So, that plus my Racer 5 that I consumed during the arduous process, made it about $14.
Worth every penny!

Be careful, if you don't have the two crests - one on the centre cap, one on the valve cap - pointing exactly at each other, your IMS will spontaneously combust the moment you turn the key.

My first DIY was not nearly as technical as Woodman's but I thought it turned out fairly well. Some like this some hate it, but I felt it really set off the car. El' Cheapo Carrera stickers.
