Well here is what i have so far. I am curious what you think, polite or otherwise. We are all polite here so I have no worries. The horn works and the thing isn't likely to fall off into my lap honking like a madman.
 My son says "You know it isn't exactly a Bentley or an E type, they used a lot of plastic on the 914". True. Here are some samples on the car. -I am not affiliated with Porsche, VW or Bentley.-  or this  Maybe a bit smaller crest. This one is a bit smaller than a hood crest. The aluminum keeps stuff out of the area and stabilizes the wood, but I might try anodizing it. Black is the hardest for me; sometimes turns out sorta purple. |

Looks good from where I'm sitting, I prefer the one with the higher contrast emblem. Would look good with the brown vinyl interior my car came with.

Trying to figure out how to improve the aluminum skirt. Makinga small compartment has already been mentioned, but I am thinking about improved appearance. Would it look better as wood all the way down? |
