Thanks all.
@Dock - I kept my original so I can swap back if I want. I'm a 'keep it looking original' kind of owner, so I understand your preference.
@Cbracerx - unless I've been a complete idiot for the 5 years I've owned the car, it's a Polar Silver, not Arctic Silver car. The pictures are taken inside my garage, so it's hard to tell.
@Evan5469 - I don't mind at all, and I don't think Jim would mind. He publishes his prices. It's less if you send in your own crest to be redone, but I wanted to keep my original so I paid him for a 996 crest, and had it refinished. Here is his email to me on price:
"Thanks for the email and the order. I have 996 style pieces (with the 996 part # prefix) available for refinishing and will use one as a core for your custom crest. The total for a crest refinished in brushed nickel plate + satin black automotive enamel is $199.99 shipped (in the US, shipping outside the US is $10 additional). Time from receipt of payment to shipping is approximately two weeks."
He was spot on with the two weeks timeframe. I actually think he delivered early.

it looks very teutonic to me in a ww2 era vw bug kind of way. as long as you like it, all that matters. i agree a "splash" of color w the oem badge is just about right.
it is nicely done though!

Three Wheelin'
I've got the same crest and think it goes well with the smoked side markers, darker wheels and black Turbo script in the rear.

That's a good looking car you have there.
I'm actually in Monterey for a few days with my 3 yr old. We talked about bringing the Porsche, but in the end, we both agreed the big Lexus would be easier and allow us to bring all our (his) stuff! Maybe next time....
