  1. I understand your concern, I emailed automotion and they gave me the part number for the mini hood crest, which could very well be the crest they are selling as a 'genuine hood crest.' It is impossible to know for sure though.

    I am not trying to be a smarta** but the crest that comes on the airbag is not a hood crest as the part number implies

    I am just trying to save a life

  2. I am fairly certain the airbag crest is not made out of metal, and as it's the name implies it was made to go on the airbag.

    I hope none of you are putting this crest on your airbags.

    Q. have you thought about what that crest is going to do when the airbag deploys??????????

    A. if your lucky just leave a Porsche crest embossed on your forehead

    if your not so lucky a Porsche crest lodged in a jugular or eye or heart, lung etc.........

    you shouldn't be putting anything on any airbag!!!!!!!!!

  3. I have looked into adding heated seats in the past. It seems fairly simple depending on how you do it. If you want it to be completely OEM look here, and get $2k ready. I was thinking about getting aftermarket heaters and wiring them into the phone power plug, which could probaly be done for less than $200. The problem is that if you want to use the OEM heater switches you have to figure out how to wire them properly which is what put me off.

    Since the center of the seat back is removable it would be really simple to install just a backrest heater, you wouldn't even need to remove the seats. If you do end up doing this, post what you did and maybe some pictures and instructions I would like to see it. :)

  4. Hi,

    I put my hardtop on a few days ago, and had a small problem while doing so, which has created a very annoying problem. The defroster plug behind the drivers seat came undone. I managed to get the plug back onto its mount, but apparenty the mounting clip (that hold the defroster plug) is going, which has created a very annoying rattle. It appears the only solution is to replace the plastic piece the plug mounts onto.

    Has anyone done this? Instructions? Part numbers?

    Thanks! :D

  5. If you flush the coolant system you can use non Porsche coolant but there are only a few others that work well. If you mix coolant, it can turn into a gelatin and kill your engine. Which makes me feel like a $30 gallon of Porsche coolant isn't to expensive. (Since it's 50/50 with distilled water, your sort of getting two gallons).
