Nope steel. I think it's cool you did the black calipers with them though.

I didn’t think the yellow calipers would complement the Aurum very well.

Problem now is I won’t be able to switch back and forth with black wheels (like i did with my 981 Spyder) because I would want the yellow calipers in that instance.




I had black GT4 wheels on my 981.

That logo is p/n 98755923903. I ordered this from Suncoast and should have it next week. Plus, this version is only $75!
​​​@Jay77 did you get a chance to install the 987 Spyder emblem?

I haven't. I surprisingly had the foresight to call my detailer once I realized the emblem on my car is applied onto the PPF. His recommendation was to leave everything alone, since more often than not, the film is disturbed when removing an emblem attached with adhesive, and the scuffs/imperfections could be visible through or around the new emblem. So, I am currently weighing the pluses and minuses of possibly causing $500 damage in PPF to replace a $100 emblem. I still think I would like to do it, but haven't set a couple hours aside to take my time with it. But, here are a few pictures of the two logos next to each other. Quite a difference.

Personally I like the smaller logo... I would tend to agree with your detailer. pulling the emblem off the PPF risks damage.

Thanks @Jay77, I think I have an idea now. They both look great, but I agree with @Westcoast , the newer emblem flows better IMO
