Post Anyone want to trade hood crests?

I have a new "New" style gold crest for my ride, but decided to try the silver one to match my color scheme. Anyone have a silver one they want to trade? Speed nuts and seal go with mine, and would also like the same in trade.

Let me know.

Gert at Carenewal and Pelican Parts both stock the silver crests if you just want/need to buy one.

Black, Red, and Gold like the colors of the German flag, are the true color of the Porsche crest. None of this artsy silver junk for me, however to each his own.

Why such a price difference on the crests? I doubt it's real silver!

Heck, I thought mine was just faded. Brian, take a look at mine while we're at the 944 Fest. If it's what you're looking for I'll trade ya.

You know, I just did a set of center caps...Gold red and black are the true colors, which is why I went with them, but silver straight looks better.

I think my emblem's just faded, but it looks more silver than gold...

I have a new gold one, and it sure is pretty. Thing is, my color combo has no gold in it. I am going to paint my wheel crests, and it would be sweet to have the badge match.

That was my thought at least. I'm keeping my gold one, to switch out now and then. qoncept944 thinks he has one sitting around, so if all goes well, I'll have my choice.

Gold one for the Purist concourse event, Silver for the beer drinkin' gatherings. (I'll attend more of the latter... <img border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" title="" src="graemlins/drink.gif" /> )
