I'm OK with existing badges on hoods, but think if you do not have one, you should preserve the originality.
I wanted a badge too. My solution... I put a front license plate on with a genuine crest in the middle. It is a "Slimline" style and they come in black or chrome and match up well on the front bumper. You can get them at any dealership or Porsche Shop and they are a "Genuine Porsche" product.  --Jason |

Who cares? Do what you think looks good to you.
Personally, I like 'em with and without depending on the car/color. My car came with one already installed, and its fine. If I had my druthers, I wouldn't have added it but will not delete it. Attached image(s)

I Used 2 sided body moulding tape to attach my badge. (hasn't moved in 3 years and if someone wanted it that bad it wouldn't damage the hood if they pryed it off)If I want it off it can come off without leaving holes or marks. If this tape existed in the 70's all the dealers would have knocked off the studs and just used tape.
I say badge if you like. |

I don't care very much about the front crest. Both ways looks good to me, but I do like when the back side identifies the engine. If you did all the work (or paid someone to do it) to modify the stuff we can't see, let us know whats under that hood. AFTER we catch up to you.

All new car emblems are held on with tape. If it works for them, it works for me. Tape it on and have the best of both worlds. |

I didn't vote. I don't have one. I think they just dont look good, even on a 911. Too glaring in the surrounding flat space. But if'n ya'll wantcha one, put'r right on thar. I've got porsche crest wheel centers. I'm not against the crest, b/c the 914 really is a Porsche. I just like the uber-flatness of the front as is.
