so for the 996 part sunset quotes $119, the book shows a 997 part also ? it is $57
I need a new one - express opinions please
OH - Silver ?? aftermarket?
Any pictures of the 996 vs. 997? Try ringing Sunset tomorrow and ask for clarification.
I like
the idea
of the Silver crest, but the factory gold one matches my wheel center caps, so there is nothing pushing me to change it
OK so at first I didnt get it... they look the same - then I asked and GOT IT
The 997.1's use what looks like the exact same one as we have (hense the confussion on my part... 1/2 the price???) BUT the GT3's had a "new style in the early models which is now standard on all 997.2's I looks really cheap and like an injection molded piece of plastic. Very smooth outter surface and no raised surfaces...
BLAH !! - looks cheap as hell - same colors as the original........ I am having a 996 sent up and it will be here Tuesday (hopefully) as my car is getting closer... what once was yellow is now BLACK !!
I never did get the weights on the 2 hoods, but I can tell you the GT2 hood is 30 pounds lighter
OHHHHHH - any one interested in a drivers front OEM fender new in box??? - we didnt use it, but bought it...great, now its mine...... sell at dealer cost (I will know monday what that is)
The paint looks beautiful and they tweeked the frame so the hood/fender/headlight/bumper alignment and gaps are so awesome. I never realized how bad they were until they were fixed right.
It feels good to have it right, it feels bad being a fool when I bought it. Live and learn I guess.
White stuff is buffing type compound... not paint flaws - it looks really good IMO...
SO now to move abrand new OEM fender and my old hood - anyone local looking for parts cheap !!
Thanks! Yea, love the wheels, found an easy way to clean them. I bought a really simple and big, long bristled soft brush. I keep up on them, but its easy to with that. A couple coats of Rejex helps too!
Been driving a Chrysler 300 - by far the worst new car I have been in - I let the truck sit since the insurance paid for the rental....
Ed,
I would like to see your old hood, and car when it gets out of the shop. My car was originally a daily driver up in the Sinammish (sp??) highlands, and got sand and rock chipped during the winters.
Johnny
I thought of the silver one - I know it would look great on black... but I saw somewhere that there is a reason Porsche never offered a silver one - something to do with the original family crest... so no silver - the new one arrived from Sunset today
new crest, gasket and nuts - about $120
For sale - old one...... $50
I can't say for sure why Porsche never offered a silver badge, but IIRC the Porsche badge is based on the Stuttgart coat of arms overlayed on the Wiemar-era Freier Volksstaat W�rttemberg (Free People's State of W�rttemberg) coat of arms. Those are better represented in gold.

I will be taking pics and posting a "re-introduction" thread as soon as time permits...right now I have to go for a drive - LATER !!
