I would say Silver, because it goes with the pedals better.

That spot is a real wear spot so any logo that goes there will wear. A silver logo will look better worn and beaten to crap than a colored one. There is my practical reasoning.

My first answer would be none....why would you want to step on a nice Porsche logo everytime you drive the car? :-)

Cheers,

Mike

Silber ....

I also agree with Mike's rational on the wear issue - silver will edure.

I just don't see much wear occuring because the sticker or metal crest will sit down in the cut out on the dead pedal. The depth of the cut out is 1/8" so a sticker should certainly be safe from wear, a small metal crest may not. Maybe the sticker will be the least expensive alternative and hold up the best.

FYI, that is a "3D" sticker, and is about 1/8" thick, so the top of the sticker will be about flush with the top surface of the pedal. However, they are only $4.99 and you can probably afford to replace them as needed. BTW, the stickers also come in yellow and gold if that is your preference.
