    FS: @eBay - Repro Orange Hood Badge

    When I saw the "REU" name on the back of this badge I decided to buy one to see what the quality was like. It is very high quality and if someone is doing a full resto with bright new paint this badge would be a good option, I paid $50 for it on Ebay and I am glad I bought one. The back pins are bent a little too far inward but I think they will bend out to fit the old holes. Here is a couple pictures of mine and the link to Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131916620302...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Thanks Mike.

    For 50 bucks how do you go wrong? Ordered the 2 that were left but I'm sure they've got a ton more.

    They have some cool NOS parts. If someone is tempted to buy that brand new 924 fuel distributor, don't.

    I can definitely beat $350.

    I just stepped up for one too.
    Thanks Mike for drawing attention to this!
    It really beats using my "patina'd" badge.

    It's all Mike's fault if there's a price increase.

    FYI got an estimate from a restorer that would replate the badge gold ( no enamel work) for about $300. Said that it included nickel plating as the brass "absorbs" the gold over time if applied directly without the nickel layer. More than $50 but nice to know it's an option.

    Guy's let me know what think about the badge when you get them. I think they are NOS for LWB/SWB when customers needed replacement badges awhile ago when REU was the supplier

    Don't buy the new production ones Porsche is remaking, they have a fancy page on their website saying they are made in Germany, with pride, a buncha white coated people doing the work, ya sure. They are junk.Look what happened the 2nd or 3rd time I washed the car.

    hahahahahahaha!

    Don't wash your car!



    Mike,
    Not impressed. Way too shiny for me.
    I'm going to throw them in the corner of the glass bead cabinet for a few weeks to add patina.

    I agree too shiny but they are very well made and just need some "Patina".
