Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Here is a rainy day project to enhance your Porsche's wheels.
Many folks have the "Decorative Cap" valve stem caps (P/N 00004460000, $14.95/set) on their cars. This cap features an embossed Porsche crest on the top.
I think there are are 2 short comings to the cap, the inability to see the crest, and how to line up the crest with the wheel.
Here is a quick and easy way to solve both problems.
To make the crest more visible, highlight the crest with a black (or your favorite color) permanent marker. Color over the crest, and let it dry.
Next take some 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover and wet a paper towel with just a little. Let it almost evaporate on the paper, then gently rub off the excess marker until just the marker on the embossed part remains. If you rub too much off, just reapply the marker, and try again. You will end up with something like this.
Repeat to the other 3 caps, and there you have it.
Now, when you screw on the cap, how do you get it lined up with the center cap crest? Screw on the cap snugly and see how far off the cap is from being centered. Remove the cap, and firmly grab the rubber valve stem and simply twist it to get its threads lined up. You may need to use a pair of pliers to twist it. Remember, the valve stem is just pushed in the wheel, and will rotate easily with no danger of damaging the wheel, stem, or inducing a leak.
When you get it lined up, it will look like this:
Last step is to hope to heck that some kid with Porsche valve stem envy, does not steal your valve caps!

Nice post. The valve stem caps look great....while you have them. If you lived in NYC, they wouldn't last a week. Ask me know I know.
I'm still reeling from the fact that someone just recently stole my windshield wiper arm lugnut cover. That, my friends, can only be ANOTHER Porsche owner. Who else would have a need for this round little plastic part?!
well judging by the cleanliness of the barrel of his wheel and the lug holes, he's a meticulous guy for sure! You guys are the reason 2nd hand Porsches are a good move. Some people treat their Porsches better than their girl friends!
I still say that Orient Express never drives it. He just cleans it and then drops a plexiglas cover over it (a big version of the knid you would put over a scale model), and then two weeks later, he pops the cover off and cleans it again!
