I recently had my '86 944 painted and was wondering which badge i should put on cuz i still have my stock one the one that is like a silver and read and black or if i should put the new style with gold red and black so just give me your opinions on which badge would look better and which one you have maybe include some pictures

The original is actually gold but fades over time and becomes silver looking, like yours.

There are some new fangled repros which actually are silver colored when new.

I say, "go for the gold!"

I would go with the gold as well unless you have some pieces on the car that are silver and the silver badge would accent them better.

The real difference (both being gold) is that the later ones have the word "PORSCHE" at the top outlined in black, whereas the original ones had "PORSCHE" in solid black lettering. Also some of the other lines were 'sharpened' on the new ones.

I have the late one

What year did they change this?

I've noticed that the OE emblem was different for the 944 cars than for the 911 cars of the same vintage. The rearing horse was much more refined in the 911 emblems.

The new 996 emblems in silver also do not "fit" per se. They dont lay flat. Hell, just have the holes filled and go without.

I like the silver badge on a black car...looks nice!

I pick option "c".

Buy a nice crest decal and install that. Lighter, cheap, and unlikely to be pried off by some 10 year old on a dare from his cousin Billy (who just got a buzz from huffing some gold spraypaint fumes.)

I think this pic shows a repro cloisonne badge in gold. The 'PORSCHE' letters are gold without contrasting outlines...

I second what Matt H said. I've almost completely de-badged my car. I wish I knew how to de-badge the spoiler.

I think the original colored crest is one of the best looking parts on the car! It IS a Porsche--wear the badge proudly!

go with the gold is my opinion.....my car is black and I have cold centered cookie cutters so after my new paint I did the rear "944" badge in gold and the lettering above the rear bumber in gold and the gold emblem on the front looks **** to me......

The gold looks great! Especially on a fresh badge!
