Default Turbonite Hood Crest Upgrade

Was browsing the world wide web and saw that Porsche came out with a new design for the Turbø models.

SO, naturally I said, why not change mine to it.
What do you think? I personally am a big fan of this change.

When the crappy one I got off Etsy finally "dies", I will definitely be replacing my hood badge with this version. Looks great!

Thanks!

Sunset has them for $131.

Looks quite similar to the refurbished one I put on my CS. A guy on eBay removed all the paint and then polished as appropriate.

Suncoast HAD them for 175, they are completely out of stock and the emblems are currently on back order. Only coming out of Germany. Took me 6 weeks to get mine and my parts guy told me he was surprised it came that quickly.

Ordered from my local dealer @ $132. Backordered as well. I don't expect anyone in the states to have any readily available.

@Kigiin Great question! On my black/black/black CS, I felt that the monochomatic hood badge looks better than the original. So...for me...it's an upgrade.

Spending more for aesthetics is not an upgrade... it is [personal attack deleted]

Well, some folks have money to burn and they spend it in ways that makes them happy. Can't fault them for that.

Also, maybe there's a platform that you'd enjoy more than Rennlist. Twitter comes to mind.
