Default Silver hood crest instead of gold

Anyone ever change out their gold hood crest to a silver one on a Polar or Artic Silver 993? Pictures please...

Thanks
Christian

Here is my Polar silver 993TT with silver hood badge with a 993 C2S with gold hood badge. Sorry I don't have anything up close but you can see the silver hood crest.

Perhaps this is a bit close...

I matched the silver hood crest with silver aluminum wheel caps.

Very nice - I have the silver hood crest and love it - where did you get the centre caps from?

I got the silver aluminum wheel caps from Bumper Plugs.

They're nice quality and lock from the back via set screws. Here's another look...

Re. silver hiid crest, best price (same quality, nickel plated ) I found at departstop via a previous post here.
Was $85 about a week ago. They must have gotten word that they were really low.. they upped it to $99. Came with the gasket and nuts, same as others.
