good job! that's a great idea.

PS: wondering why some stuff from other porsches is so much cheaper.
like 924/944. got some goodies from those models new for a price less than USED items for 914s/911s ...

Thanks, Andy.

The 924 caps are made of a strong plastic. They don't seem to scratch or chip easily. Besides, they're cheap - about 6 or 7 bucks a piece, last time I checked.

Another way to get emblems on your 914 center caps is do like the previous owner did to my car:

My understanding is that they are 356 emblems. The other nice thing is that they cover up all the dents that the center caps usually have.

Looks good L,

You need a better close up shoot of the installed cap, other than that......

Hi Mike... and thank you.

I know I need a better close up. Most of these pics were taken a while ago, on a lame camera.

I never got a clean picture of the finished product. The cap is black with a raised black crest, so it didn't photograph well. I'm looking on the net for a clear picture of the cap.
