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...
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.
Maybe some day I will be rebuilding engines like Ahsai!
You have some serious skills Woodman. Would you please rate the degree of difficulty especially on the new valve stems and correct orientation of the center caps?

6 out of 10! But I was several IPAs in, so threading the little buggers in there was hit or miss.
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.
