No way is it a real genuine crest... its a reproduction. It wouldn't be $35 if it was genuine.

Does it appear to be painted? Plastic?

Nah, it's metal and prongs were perfectly aligned. Like I said. The quality is good... its's just not genuine. I msged support at the website before I bought it and asked a few questions. Very nice staff.

I am thinking about changing the colored crests when my car arrives next month and ideally I would like to get matching wheel center crests. If you get a chance maybe you can take a pic of it on your car.

I ended up placing the order as I was ok with waiting some time to get the hood crest. I received the crest 10 days later...

I just got a response from the vendor of that link I posted saying while his are not OEM they are metal and of comparable quality to OEM. One thing I'm questioning is fitment. He says his will fit:

"All Porsche Models 986 / 987 / 987.2 / 981 / 718 / 996 / 997 / 997.2 / 991 / 991.2 / Cayenne / Panamera / Macan"

For some reason I thought 997 and earlier modelsl were different then 991? Can anyone advise on that?

If you've ever been on the fence about adding some striping to your 911 you could do what I just did... I ordered these vinyl stripes from Aliexpress for a whopping $26 shipped. They arrived in 2 weeks and I slapped them on in about 30 minutes. Quality is better than I expected and I'm pretty pleased with the result. I'll probably leave them on for a bit until I get tired of them and then do something else. Thumbs up or thumbs down?
