Fuchs center cap as clock block off?

[LeeH]

I don't mind a clock in the car... if it works. I pulled mine out to fix it. While it was out I wondered what might be used as a block off plate. I looked around the garage looking for something about the right size. Hmmm... a center cap looks about right. I put it in the rubber ring and it popped right in.

I'm not going to leave it since it's polished, but if it were black I think I'd keep it there.

never thought of that, very cool. I have a plastic disc that came with my GPS unit in the spot, also a perfect fit and black so it matches the dash panel.

I like it too!

Looks great! Seems so obvious now that you've shown it to us...

does anyone know of a directable and/or closeable vent that would fit the clock hole? my thought is to add a vent from the cowl vent to the clock hole (like the smart racing one). it would be nice to close the vent when it's cold out but i need to know of trim vent from some car that fits.
thanks,
matt

Frankly, the more Porschie badges and names I can get off my car the better. It's like Ralph Lauren: went shopping for some long-sleeve winter shirts yesterday and you can barely find anything that doesn't say, in gold-filigree thread, "RALPH LAUREN YACHT CLUB EST. 1967."

Uhhh...no it wasn't. You're not a member and neither am I.

Labels should be inside. I know it's a Porsche, I don't need everybody else knowing, and perhaps resenting, it.

I agree with you Steve, but do think a simple black fuchs cap would look good. And it is inside...

Same here. When I looked at the car right after it's paint job, I fell in love with the clean look. My car has no hood crest, lettering or badges at all, and will stay that way.

Yeah... I think a non-badged black cap would be my choice. I spent some time in Ace Hardware looking for something that would fit and left empty handed.

But, I came home and worked on the clock for a bit and last time I checked it was working. We'll see how long it lasts.

This is why I've never gotten painted-crest black fuchs centers, I like the black ones, and the black embossed 930S wheel center crest. I did have to replace the front badge with a new one, as the original looked pewter (and I can't believe people are buying the silver ones when the cars never came that way from the factory... yes, they're lower-key than gold but it ain't the proper factory crest). My 911sc badge is still very black, and I'm just fine with it the way it came from the factory. I'm ok with the rear reflector saying PORSCHE, and my license plate is as stealth as I could get it and still contribute a personalized plate fee to the interstate flower plantings in N.C.

"PCA-83SC" (N.C. has 3 letters-4 numbers)

With the help of some articles on this board, I fixed my clock!!
