Default WTB: Silver Hood Crest

Well since I lost the RS heater tube on Evilbay I'll move on to something else I don't need Also looking for rear fender guards. Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask first....

If you happen to find more than one, I'm interested too! I'll fall in line behind Cactus.

Default Crap... I guess I fall to third on the list. I have always been a bit slow...

I want to swap out the Gold badge. I am thinking Silver will look nicer with Glacier White.

Or are you looking for a used one?

Cactus,
I bought my silver hood crest from bumperplugs.com. I think it had a 996 part number on it.

How much did that heater bypass-tube go for?

That's the one but just wanted a better price. I have seen them as high as $180 so just wanted to see what's out there.

Mike/ Cactus, etc.-- Hot tip: contact eBay vendor "highTechEuro." If this link to their feedback profile page works, you'll see they've sold at least 9 since Dec 21. Starting bid $89 + $15 for US shipping.
Per their ad: "Please contact me for any further information. We have several of these available!"
Last auction: Porsche Silver Hood Crest Badge - 911 996 997 Boxter. No affiliation.

Good luck! After-mod photos required, of course.

Got mine off of eBay for $115 shipped! Looks just like the one above. Couldn't be happier with it!

The silver hood badge was one of the things it seemed that all my newer car customers switched out. They looked soooo much more modern than the gold emblem.

Just for some info, Porsche never made a silver hood badge. Originally there were some aftermarket companies that made them, and they were sued by PCNA to stop. They did. Now what is done is to literally BUY a new hood badge (or they use old ones. First few companies that started after the PCNA litigation wanted you old badge in return) and rework it so that it is silver. A new gold hood badge is under $50 anyway. That is why the Silver badges are fairly expensive.

So now that Cactus got the hook up (I think), anyone else out there have one they'd like to get rid of?
