Finally made my first non-functional mod ever for this car. Not a fan of the pimptastic gold badging, and finally contacted Jim over at Porsche custom Crests for one of his automotive works of art.
Ordered a "kurz" (short) version without the Porsche banner across the top, and had it match my car's basic color combination of blue, black and silver. It arrived on Friday, and finally had time to mount it today:
Jim did a fantastic job, shortened the crest and relocated the mounting pins to ensure proper alignment for the top of the badge. Will get a better pic after it stops raining and I roll the car out of the garage, but bottom line is that Jim's work is peerless...truly a piece of autimotive art.
I'm ordering a second badge that will be based on the original, full-size version in the same colors as this one, but with no enamel fill behind the antlers (left bare/polished metal). I want to look at them side by side before I decide which will stay on the car.
Boy, it's really time to repaint the hood!
I choose to think of them as reflected constellations in the sky!
A couple more...
I really like that look better than the factory, my car is the same color with about the same amount of chips on the hood, that means the car is having fun being driven.
Looks really nice in pics. I bet it looks better in real life. cool.
So I found some more pics from Jim... somehow wound up in my spam email folder.
Much better pics than my what I could do on an iPad out in front of my house with a dirty car!
I tried to find his website but the link on the Facebook page is not working?
I already have a custom crest for the hood but was considering the ones on the wheels to match...
Although not from Jim this is what is on my blue car...
Can't recall exactly how I found him...think it was through an old post on the Pelican
Parts forum. No affiliation, but here's his facebook page:

And the email I used to contact him is:

Very, very pleased with his work and can't recommend him highly enough...
those custom crests look pretty good. nice touch with the colour matching too!
thanks for the details, I will check it out when I get a chance!
Second crest arrived...
Now to decide which one will stay on the car!
