Somebody stole my hood badge!

[steved0x]

A lot (well relatively) on Rennlist seem to be using these:

Porsche Refinished Silver Cerakote Semi Flat Hood Crest Emblem Badge | eBay

The last few on eBay haven't sold so you could probably get one for $99. if you have a ciore to exchange I think you get $25 back. My boxster is Ocean Blue and my steering wheel airbag emblem is silver, so I am thinking about getting one. I really like the brushed nickel one (not shown in this auction) but it is more expensive...

Are you game PL? Got the 3D model ready here for you if you decide to invest on your hood a little

I could do white gold or platinum. But we would have to figure out a way to electrify it in case of theft. Or perhaps rig it to an exploding dye pack.
This would easily exceed the cost of my first car.

Looks fine and the price is right

That price is sweet. But I'm not partial to gold anything. I've been wanting to switch to a silver crest (like on the steering wheel) for some time but I'm a cheap skate sometimes.

Yeah that would look nice on a dark colored car for sure. On a lighter color car I think I'd want some of the red bars in there at least.

Last time I ran Platinum in the machines here, it was for a TAG watch casing. The stuff was 30% more expansive than 99.9 gold 2-3 years ago. Should be even more today as it gets rarer I recently heard. Go figure why.

Didn't know there was a market for custom colored hood P emblems. Fascinating... might have to cnc a few dozens in anodized 6061 aluminum and compete on that

At the Chinese GP all weekend and prepping/leaving for Motogp in Spain on the 24th. I should have a few ready in 30-45days min.

TI. They'll be in Grade 2 (commercial). I don't put anything else other than gr2 under the hydraulic press anymore (hurts too bad when that stuff 'pings' in your face). e.g. they need to be profiled with a die. I'll laser cut a few gaskets that goes with them

Look for them! TI is cheap here lol
