Center caps - different kinds?
Does Porsche make different kinds of silver/black center caps? I order a set to match the MY02 5-spokes, and got part number 993.361.303.11.9A1. Looking at the caps, the color looks just a tad light comparison to the wheels (even with break dust cleaned). Are my eyes deceiving me? Is the wheel paint the same on 993 and 996 parts?

My 02 5 spoke plastic concave center caps are also slightly lighter than the wheels were. When I had my wheels R&Red and powdercoated, I switched to a a nice alloy cast black & silver set, still new from when I had from my 83 944, new (long ago and a long story)..not concave but looks better than plastic, IMHO, even tho they are an even further color match. I've been trying to find a concave cast alloy color set, just like I saw on a 99 996 in a parking lot. VERY nice. I don't like the plastic ones much and the 997 ones are even worse looking!!. So there are differences in color, just from fading, color pigment lots, etc,,

I am looking for concave silver crest cap for sport designs 10. I had found them but I did not bookmark the link. If anyone knows where I can get these I would appreciate a link.
