Hood crest sizes?

Are there different sizes? Mine has a faint outline around it. Just a few mm bigger would be great.

(This all started after I bought this Boxster as my first car to smoke fools at the light and wear my skinny jeans, and started riding the clutch and brake at the same time until I saw smoke. After the hood crest I'll get around to figuring out what that CEL is about and why my temp light is flashing......dad said I can ignore both.)

Thanks,

Tim

As long as both of your rear fog lights are working you should be ok.

i think they are all the same size. there's a rubber gasket that the crest is supposed to sit in that may be missing, hence the outline.

I put $8k down and financed $8k to rebuild my credit after closing out child support. So yes, it appears I cannot afford this car.
