914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Hood Badge
Posted by: Coondog Nov 8 2017, 06:42 PM
I will start by saying if my hood wasn't already badged, I would have never done this mod. With that said I was leaning on changing out my red badge with the old school orange badge. Then I went rouge and went with this.

IIRC - the Orange band type went up through the 73 MY, then they went to a brighter red band in 74, while your prior badge was more for the current & late model Porches (see-through red enamel).
While I prefer the period correct orange 70-73 or red 74-76 for a splash of color - to each his/her own, & the black-out look is what you like!
FYI - if you change your mind in the future, the Porsche website's Classic section sells all of their OEM badges by era - plus you can get a PCA member discount &/or Sunset Porsche or Suncoast Porsche online parts websites' best price on them.

I personally really like your choice. I'm looking at a similar badge on Ebay, ...there's a similar one that's cerakote blacked out. I like the subtle/Spartan coloring.

Here are a couple, I think I am going to use the Black & White on my current project.
The Dauer 962 is for looking at only.

I have an orange bar one with the patina to match the car. The dog keeps an eye on it for me.
I am also a fan of the this one I saw for sale a while ago...

When I got my 914 I intended to put a hood badge on it, it looked empty without since I was used to it from my 911. Now a few years later I prefer the badgeless look. Funny how things change

I have the hood badge and the rear reflector....but then I do like pissing off purists.

Currently without a badge , however I really like that all dark grey/black badge.

No cocaine for me. Don’t need it anymore. Well at least most days.

I have a nice hood badge but probably won't install it. If people don't recognize my 914 as a Porsche, I don't want to fuckin' talk to them any way.

But that's not a factory alarm system... Great shot!

Have one my car, thought it was period correct but its not,I believe it is from 1975 911 as it has (faded) red stripes..think it should be orange for my 74.
I have no issue with it ,not fussed ,its just a badge 
,not worth the hassle of welding up the holes and painting.
