My hood crest is faded, i was going to replace it with the original but noticed the silver one used in the later models and 996, i think it would give my Gaurds red a nice, unique look. I have found it for sale, but not for less than $80, anyone know a cheaper source?

 

oooh...that's sexy...id like to know where to get those too...

 

They are sharp, pelican has them but I have never seen one for less than $75 - 80 bucks

 

I will be buying one as well, they wanted too much to fill the holes in the nose panels, I hate the gold one so here goes 80 freakin' dollars.

careful - i've heard that they have a different 'curve' to them - in order to fit the 996 hood. not sure if these are they, but i'd check with pelican and/or the place you're going to purchase it first!

 

my car had one on there when i got it, and washington is right. It doesnt quite sit flat. but if you have the seal behind it you cant tell.

 

Yeah, it'll probably look fine with the seal in the correct position. I talked to Jason @ Paragon when ordering my new CVs, he said he would check around and try to find 'em. I will call him in a couple of days.

 

I like the original colored crest! Look at any classic Porsche...and there's the colored crest! Good enough for me!

 

I'm curious as to why it's so expensive. I just replaced my (stolen) old skool gold one for £15 (call it $20).
