Clipstone, just be aware of quality. Be sure you have a good return policy. The silver crest (at least the group buy crests we got from Eli at FastForward) is made from the OEM gold crests (they come in the original OEM box) So the fit should be exactly the same. Otherwise, they are probably Asian knock-offs.

Yeah I'm pretty sure my current one is a knock-off, hence the lugs being at a slight height difference. Looks good, but the fit is not there, and I'm about $150 down with no silver

fwiw, I called them last spring and all they had were used gold ones (it's primarily a used parts business) and "could get" silver ones, but weren't sure where they came from. (?) A lot of their "new" inventory were replicas. Maybe their inventory has since changed......
