Default WTB: Nice "aged" Porsche nose emblem

Anyone have a nice slightly aged Porsche nose emblem they wouldn't mind getting rid of? I bent mine on accident, plus the red enamel had turned white anyways. I don't really want the bright look of a new one, I kind of like a little age on it.

Isn't a new one $35? I'm sure you can "age" it with a little steel wool or something.

Wow - you're right. I bought one a few years ago... but the price seems to have gone up since then. I remember it being a bargain.

New for $32, bought one about 5 months ago. I would say put a new one on, for the amount of work to take the nose panel off and everything, you don't want to replace it anytime soon.

I've never been one much for the new really gold badges. I have an older one that is more pewter in colour on my car.

What about something like this?

Its a 3D decal, its light, cheap, and would look great IMHO.
