But then again, I really have no interest in concours. I'm a driver, not a collector. Personal preference.

Just make sure they are tight. If they get loose, then debris will go behind. Then the rubbing of the loose hood crest will scratch up the paint.

You can use a 10mm ratchet to remove the hood crest. Use 303 Aerospace to clean the rubber. Use quick detailer, or similar to clean/shine the crest itself. The whole exercise shouldn't take 15 minutes.

Snug (do not overtighten) when you reassemble. The rubber gasket should completely cover the outside of the crest, it cradles it. The rubber gasket in your photo looks good to me.
