Default Another Hood Crest fail... Which crest should I pick?
SO I was driving to work this evening and I was slowing down to go over a speed bump and something flew up and hit my windshield. It scared the crap out of me. I pulled over and what do ya know. My hood crest ripped off the front and blew away. I am looking for a replacement from suncoast and I torn between the new style and this black/silver one with no posts on it. Check it out..

Gold: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...Code=996emblem

Black: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...Code=996emblem

Has anyone used this one before? Since my car is entirely blacked out and I was thinking the black crest would look unique. I'm just not sure how I would mount the black one. What do you all think?

A $3.00 Sticker from the dealer! This is what comes with the new GT2RS I think. Saves weight!

Mine has a tiny bit of play also. I noticed this yesterday when I was washing the car.

If I were to replace it, I would go oem and get the original gold one.
