Need monochrome replacement hood emblem

[morrisonbrett]

I have a black and white Taycan Turbo S. There's NO color on it - except for the hood emblem. I would like to find a pop-in replacement of the factory color hood emblem with a monochrome version. I've looked and have been unable to find such a part, so posting here. Thanks.

Got mine in 2021 from AAse Sales (aasesales.com). I think I heard they did not have them anymore, but worth and email. I had the solid black one, but sold it and got this one as it matches my center caps.

Yeah that looks great - exactly what I want. I emailed aasesales.com. Thanks.

I converted a OEM Porsche 928 Intake Manifold emblem (like this) by adding two prongs on the back and making a gasket out of food grade silicone (the gasket needed to be a little thicker than the original for a solid fit).

My car (far left) with the monochrome emblem next to other Taycans with gold emblems.

I since found some refinished hood ornaments on ebay, with prongs on the back already, like this one (note different color schemes available). Should my DYI emblem ever fail, I have a monochrome fallback.

@morrisonbrett , the side markers on my car are clear with black background, so go with the monochrome theme. I was considering making them white (the original orange side markers are actually white under the amber plastic, so if I could swap a clear outer plastic onto the amber side markers I would get while reflective side markers), but it seemed like too much work (they are glued together, so no easy way to disassemble them).

The Taycan hood crest does not have the gasket that wraps up the sides of the edges of the crest. (older models had a gasket that the crest sat in). The Taycan crest has a black rubber backing (gasket) and It is held in with two speed nuts that in theory need to be replaced. I could not find any locally and reused mine. Been on for 2 years.

Just saw the video with the guy putting film on the side markers. Suncoast sells replacement units (I had my dealer toss them in the deal). If you zoom in you can see them in the pic. They are clear not smoked, but look dark with the black car.

What do you call that black rubber thing which is between the good emblem and the hood on my 2023 Taycan?

If you google the part number, majority of places call this an emblem gasket, I found one which calls it an emblem seal.

Vouching for AASE. I bought a matte black crest for my cayenne turbo and super impressed at the quality.

The older emblems have a gasket that goes up around the sides of the crest (not just behind).

Just saw a post on the Facebook Porsche Taycan group that has a guy selling a whole bunch of different style crests.

Would be helpful if you could paste the link here.

Just heard back from AASE. They said they "no longer carry those crest emblems".

I'm looking specifically for a black-and white version to match my center wheel caps. But I want it to be ready to pop-in. I don't want just the plate and I have to figure out how to get it fused to an existing emblem.

I ended up trading my color center caps with my Taycan owning friend that wanted color and had black-and-white. Check out my center cap below + the valve caps even. I want this same theme for the center emblem.

Maybe this will help. I've never used them, but might be something to look into
