Some hip-hopper is probably wearing it around his neck on a chain! That was a big thing years ago around here. Especially Caddy hood crests.

Replace it with the sticker... looks great, and nearly indistinguishable from the badge...

When I repainted my 911, we filled in the holes for the hood crest so this wouldn't happen. I was going to use a sticker, but after getting the car back together, I fell in love with the clean look, and have no badges, stickers or embems anywhere on the car.

If anybody doesn't recognize it as a Porsche, they don't care, and I don't need to tell them.
When I paint the 944, I'm going to do the same thing.

but that's a really good idea.. when i get the panel off i'll go to earl shieb and see if they can match the paint.

but wow ....thanks that's the best idea i have heard today..

Dude. I dont know about out there but around here Earl Shieb did such crappy work they went out of business. I mean they would paint cars without even washing them. No sanding or prep work whatsoever. I bet an independent would do that for a coupla hundred if you paid in cash.
