I'm looking for the correct measurements to put a crest on the front hood.
also, I don't seem to be using the search functino properly. When I key in the words Porsche crest i get 43 pages of results. This is the same for anything I search for. |

From looking at the pictures the red car looks best with the silver/gold car looking good as well. The badge placement on the orange car just looks wrong in my opinion.

QUOTE(lonewolfe @ Feb 10 2012, 12:56 PM)  From looking at the pictures the red car looks best with the silver/gold car looking good as well. The badge placement on the orange car just looks wrong in my opinion. A lot of folks on this and other 914 related sites ask about "factory placement" or "correct placement" of the hood badge. The usual answer is usually "the factory didn't install them". Well, they did, at least once, and the orange car you think "looks wrong" is proof of that. If you want "factory", this is the way to go. If you want something else, go for it. Your car, your badge, your personal preference. BTW, I like the hood emblem, it's an understated way to identify the car, as opposed to those godawful tacky oh-so-60s side stripes. But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. The Cap'n |
