FACT: Our replicas are not made by Porsche. Why pretend they are? They are mostly "hot rod" Volkswagens. My 2019 VMC Speedster came with a "1600 Super" emblem. I replaced the faux Porsche hubcap emblems with VW Wolfsburg emblems from EMPI. The seatbelt buckles have the same. My leather key fobs are imprinted with a "VW". My only badge is an older SOC model. I had emblems made to reflect the fact that the engine is a 2.3 (2332cc), and a license plate frame that reads "My Other Car Is A 1965 Porsche 365SC Coupe". Even though my Speedster is definitely not a Porsche, it's fun factor is about the same, and in some areas, even better than my "real" 356.

Greg @Vintage showed me his custom badge for the front and it looks kinda Porsche like but really says Vintage and California when you look close. Personally I like that idea just fine and am going for that over a "real" badge.

To each their own of course though !
