Not sure who, how, when or how much....


I think it would be cool. Have we ever looked into doing somthing like this for the club?

I looked into them for the WCC, and depending on what you ordered they could be made reasonably. We would need artwork, and some discernment of expected quality. HTe cheaply made ones are...cheap. Good quality comes at a cost. Google on 'grille badge' and see what comes up.

Posted by: thomasotten Sep 5 2004, 04:40 PM

Grill badges might scratch the paint on the grill. I think it would be better to have a 914Club window sticker.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 5 2004, 05:24 PM

Stickers are nice. I have 2 different ones and will soon have 2 different club hats. We need to decide on a logo if we're going to have one. A polo shirt with a logo on front ala the WCC shirt or a "T" shirt with a huge logo on the back. 2 cents worth.
Cheers, Elliot

Posted by: thomasotten Sep 5 2004, 05:32 PM

Maybe our logo could read "914World.com - Don't try this with your mother's Boxster"

Posted by: trekkor Sep 5 2004, 05:43 PM

The badge idea is GREAT!!

The mounting hardware could include a rubber washer to allow the badge to stand off the grill and fasten from the underside with lock nuts to save the paint for those who care.

Who wants a badge? I know I do.

Stickers are juvenile and tacky*. We need grill badges. They lend an air of sophistication. We should also get crested blazers and captains hats.

Just kidding - I think a nice grill badge would be cool. Scratch the engine grill? Um... whatever.

-Ben M.

*No offense intended to those who've worked on stickers for the club. Any efforts to promote the club are great.

Posted by: seanery Sep 5 2004, 05:52 PM

the grill badges you get from your region or national pca should have a rubber grommet. If not, you can get a whole slew of them for 1.99 at Lowe's/Home Despot.

I think that a cool thing would be a CNC machined aluminum badge that is then annodized, then remove the anodizing from the engraved logo and voila!

Posted by: trekkor Sep 5 2004, 06:01 PM

Some people like to mount them off the rear bumper or on a special badge license plate frame that accomodate two badges. One on each side. 914 and PCA?

Hey! I'll even put one on the side of my toilet tank!

While your checking on "badges" for the birds to look at on your grill, see if they can make for the 914 those mud flaps with the guy shooting guns.

Posted by: airsix Sep 5 2004, 11:26 PM

My grill is only 30.5" from the ground. Birds will see it, but so will EVERYONE else (except midgets and Carl in his Elise). I've seen several 914's with PCA badges on the corner of the grill and they looked rice. Nice. I mean they looked nice. (sigh)

-Ben M.

Posted by: thomasotten Sep 5 2004, 11:37 PM

Ok, Ok, if tastefully done, they look nice. But I still wouldn't want it scratching my grill - that Kylon Gloss-Black paint is almost $4 a can, man. Plus, most serious 914 tuners remove even the "PORSCHE" letters from their grill to improve cooling air entering surface area. My PO did that for me.

This is just one quote: What do you all think?

William: Thank you for the e-mail. I do not have a 1974 Porsche badge that you are looking for - sorry.

I can make a custom 914world.com badge. I visited your website and looked at the hat logo - nice. This would be a great logo for a badge. I attached picture and the artwork for the 912 badge that I make. I recommend two surface holes for mounting as it is more versatile.

Prices for a 3-inch hard enamel badge are:
25, badges $27.00 each
50, badges $18.00 each
75, badges $15.00 each
100, badges $12.00 each

The only other charge is delivery. Call me to order, I will hake a great badge for you. Thanks:

Posted by: anthony Sep 6 2004, 12:36 PM

You can already order 1-off license plate frames. I was thinking that we should do the cheap black plastic ones that mechanics give out to their customers. I actually priced them and the only downside was that you had to do a quantity of 500 or 1000 to get a good price.

Posted by: mack914 Sep 6 2004, 01:19 PM

The plastic plate frames are about $9.99 on Ebay.

Also, badge idea is way better, since most of us PCA guys who don't have the PCA badge, have the PCA [Region] license plate frames

how are the stud receptacles(don't know what else to call them) attached to the badge?

Posted by: HarveyH Feb 6 2006, 12:46 PM

In other badges I've seen they were just hex nuts welded to the back of the badge blank before it was plated.

Securely.




I am not being my usual smart assed self. I don't know and I can't tell. The 2 little pieces appear to be a slightly different color and texture than the badge. There is no excess material around the joint, so I don't think they were welded / soldered. The area around the joint of both the badge and the studs is discolored.

There is not any name or makers mark anywhere on the badge. The small spot on the bottom of the back of the badge is a thin coating that is starting to flake away. The 2 screw studs are not the same length. The ends were crudely cut and the bolts will not come off the top. The little brace / backing bar is aluminum.

Sorry, I don't know what else I can tell you.

I'm extra good under pressure. Give me more, I'll do more. When I'm in english class learning, well, nothing, I sit around and do, well, nothing. Leads to poor grades and such. On the other hand. When I spend half of class talking on the 914world.com forum, and then have to rush to finish whatever I was supposed to be doing, I do the work better and with a minimal* amount of back talk.

And I'm pretty good with the old guy talk.

I just did a quick google search and came up with tons of hits for grill badges.

Well I put this in the other thread so I'll put my 1 cent in here as well. I like the original Porsche crest badge as well but would prefer a better color selection. My suggestion was Orange and silver with black as a 3rd choice. Seems like a pretty simple CNC prgram that could be cut in aluminum or brass,for some serious class, while hangin in the grass castin for the bass,fillin up mah glass, listenin to mamma cass,hope that's not too crass :unsure:Might oughta keep the Porsche off the top though, seeing how they're so lawsuit happy lately How about a big 'ol NARP across the top???

Posted by: reverie Feb 8 2006, 10:12 AM

I have a couple of spare "round-style with cogs" decklid badges, one with the Porsche (Stuttgart) emblem, and one with the classic German eagle design. Both badges are of excellent old-school quality, and both attach to the decklid grille via the usual studs and screw-on rubberized nuts. Both badges say MADE IN SPAIN (all caps) on the back.

I would like to send these decklid badges to any club members who have the time and energy to coordinate the manufacture of 914 Club badges, to serve as a template for measurements and etc. To guarantee good quality, I think we should use a well-known manufacturer who has made such badges for the PCA or a classic-car group.

The design should be something that most club members would be proud to display. We should keep it simple, without a lot of lettering to clutter it up, and without the word Porsche on it. We are known as the 914 Club (not 914world.com or whatever) and we've been known as the 914 Club since day one, so that's what it should say. Anything else is just pandering to the clueless.

Also, we should learn from the unfortunate experience of our club members who've used their own money to fund such things in the past. Ideally, sales of club badges should be through the 914 Club Store, with advance purchase by club members so the initial production run can be as optimal as possible.

I would like to send these decklid badges to any club members who have the time and energy to coordinate the manufacture of 914 Club badges, to serve as a template for measurements and etc. To guarantee good quality, I think we should use a well-known manufacturer who has made such badges for the PCA or a classic-car group. The design should be something that most club members would be proud to display. We should keep it simple, without a lot of lettering to clutter it up, and without the word Porsche on it. We are known as the 914 Club (not 914world.com or whatever) and we've been known as the 914 Club since day one, so that's what it should say. Anything else is just pandering to the clueless. Also, we should learn from the unfortunate experience of our club members who've used their own money to fund such things in the past. Ideally, sales of club badges should be through the 914 Club Store, with advance purchase by club members so the initial production run can be as optimal as possible.

with Roger....

The badges should be of top quality. Something that we can be proud of and not rust away faster than our cars.

Don't be a dick. That's three times now I got to use that phrase today.

I'm asking about those 914club badges SPECIFICALLY that two people managed to buy somewhere. I don't see any details about them other than Garold's posts about getting from ebay.

From who is the question. Seller ID, that sort of detail. Specifically for the 914club badge as pictured here and purchased from Garold and John.

Sheesh...

Waaaaaaaaaaaaa...

It's from an old defunct or quazi-defunct club from the 60's. Guy no longer answer e-mails etc. Some badges are floating around.

No go back to bed!

Let's all bug Mike (Meuller) and send him ideas about how a cast badge should look. He can make the badges from genuine 914 scrap aluminum! Now something just seems fitting about that. Don't you all agree?

QUOTE (thomasotten @ Sep 6 2004, 01:37 AM) Ok, Ok, if tastefully done, they look nice.  But I still wouldn't want it scratching my grill - that Kylon Gloss-Black paint is almost $4 a can, man.  Plus, most serious 914 tuners remove even the "PORSCHE" letters from their grill to improve cooling air entering surface area.    My PO did that for me. I have a German rally badge mounted on my grill....used a thin piece of hard rubber as a backing and nylon washers with stainless bolts and nuts...no scratches.

If anyone is interested I forgot to mention....got the stainless hardware and nylon washers from this site www.Germancarbadge.com he has a kit for $2.50.
