I need these clips for the hood emblem and the engine lid letters. The going porsche price seems really high. I am not a concours person so any kind of a clean looking solution will do.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Moved to the garage. A discussion and request for an alternative vendor and type of new clips doesn't constitute a classified ad IMO. And I wouldn't mind finding a set myself. How much are the Porsche prices?

These aren't factory, BTW.

Yeah! These small ones probably would. I'd have to measure the pin size on the letters. 1/8" sounds about right though.

I went to Ace hardware and got mine in the fastener isle. They work fine and were .20 each I think. Just bring a letter with you so you can find the best fitting size.

I think I paid about $1.25 each for the rubber backed ones at the Newport Beach Porsche dealership. No shipping costs.

If you need them sealed, just place a small dab of black silicone inside the speed nut and screw in place. I did this on the engine grill and Porsche letters. $1.25 per nut ? not me!

These seem like they will work. Good deal for 50 of them; but still $12 plus shipping.

The $1.25 + price is just ridiculous! Looks like I'll be going to ACE or the local hardware and asking for "push nuts". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

You can get speednuts at lots of places cheap. My auto paint store even has them but I would try the ace or lowes or home depot first for the cheapest prices. If you are lucky you might even find ss.
