Is there a safe way to bring back the shine to the PORSCHE lettering on the engine deck lid???
I have finally finished the GT style lid and went to put the letters on and they look old. I know they are 37 years old, however the lid looks brand new now.

They are in pretty good shape with minimal scratches but parts of them look a little hazy.

thanks for any help

That is true, most people don't know what it is when they see it. Most people don't even see mine because it hasn't seen the road in way too many years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I thought about not putting them on to match the look of the "GT" lid, as they did not have the letters
Here is a picture, not perfect but I like it. I know the letters are not in the correct position but I wanted to see what they looked like closer together. Not sure which I like better.

thanks again I think I will check out geting new ones if they are that cheap. I beleive the silver started in 74. I think just coated plastic.
