Default Your opinion please - gold or silver crest insert on dead pedal?
My new pedals are installed and now I'm trying to determine the best small crest insert for the dead pedal. Do you like the gold crest look in the aluminum or the silver crest look? Thanks for voting!

Given the surrounding colour of carpet, definitely gold. I think it would tie the two together nicely.

Almost certainly silver, until I saw the carpet.

You can't go wrong with either one, but I would prefer the near-monochromatic, industrial subtlety of the silver crest on the silver dead pedal if it were my car.

Great comments and thanks for the inputs. I'm still on the fence. Gold matches the carpet better. Silver blends in with the pedals better.

The silver picture I posted is just a 3D sticker, not the actual hood crest. I'm not sure about where to purchase a metal, full size silver hood crest.

Bought my silver hood crest at Bumperplugs.com, a Rennlist sponsor. $129 and Porsche OEM, I believe. Very satisfied.

I found a silver hood crest on Ebay, I got it for $63, came from Germany, so it took aobut 2 weeks to arrive, but I am happy.
