I think he's talking about the 944 emblem on the rear.

It came in black or silver.

The 'NEW' silver is not authorized by Porsche. Aftermarket suppliers take the gold ones and silver-cote them. Some of these guys even attach Porsche '993' part numbers to them. Just try to buy one from your local Porsche dealer and see what they say.

Sorry to bump an ancient thread...

I know Porsche did some wacky stuff back in the day. Anyone else with a black car that has a black 944 emblem? I seem to remember that some of them came through with black on black. Mine black 1986 NA has a black emblem.

My `87 NA is black on black with black emblem. I just figured any colored coating that may have been present at some point was well worn off.

Back in the day when new, one could specify either or. Some liked the stealth look, but by far most were seen on the street wearing silver. Both of my Satin Black Metallic cars came with silver from new.

One could also do a nomenclature 'delete' and have nothing back there. These were VERY uncommon, altho I do remember both a new 951 and a 944 came to our dealership without a trim piece designating the model. Seemed kind of weird , because the first run of cars all had them. Then a couple of years in, this delete option came about.

I have black emblems on a black car - Not really a fan. No idea if it came like that from the factory.

I'd like to go silver.
